Where can I buy quality 27 * 1/4 inch tyres?

[TwoDlocks]

Does anyone know any bike shops in London which stock good quality 27 * 1/4 inch tyres? I have got an old road bike with a 27 * 1/4 inch rear wheel. It has a puncture resistant schwalbe tyre but I don't know where to buy a replacement for when it wears out.

Easier to get them mail order. Many LBS look at you like you from another planet if you ask for 27".
SJS probably have the widest choice.

I can recommend the Panaracer tyres - far better than the 27" schwalbes esp wrt puncture resistance imo

Panaracer Pasela has a nice sidewall that looks "correct" on older bikes. I have a set of the Tour Guards on a '73 Raleigh International and they look great. For performance however, I prefer the Continental Ultra Gator Skin which I've used on several bikes and a tandem with very good luck (so far) with regards to punctures.
