Best Replacement Schwinn Suburban Tires

[ridingtoy]

I'd like to get a set of 1 1/4 x 27 tires to replace my original gumwall tires that came on the bicycle back in 1974 when I bought it new. The walls have gotten all brown and crusty looking from age. What's a good quality brand to look for that's made today, or should I look for NOS gumwalls like the ones that came on it? Thanks!

I have used kenda 26" tires, work great, I would assume they make a 27" tire.
Just make sure they are for Schwinn rims.

They have many choices for you. Most of the Schwinn 27" wheels can use any correct size tire unlike most of the other size Schwinn wheels which use a specific Schwinn size tire.

Here is my 76 with the

tires from Niagra. They have 2 pages of other 27 X 1 1/4 choices. Your local bike store will also have or can get many choices in this size tire.

Suburban tires

I recently rebuilt a beat up suburban and opted for Scwalbe HS159 tires. They were $20 a tire, but offer some better puncture protection than your standard tire. Expensive, but Hey you said "Best". They come in both white and gum wall.

Thanks for all the tire tips! Hope to get some new rubber on the Suburban pretty soon.
