27.5 stree tiers.

[45u]

Looking for some 27.5x2.125 street tires. Do not want to run more like came on it as they do not look like they are going to last long and I do not want to run mountain bike tires. I have looked and looked and will keep doing so but does any one know where I can get what I want?
Thanks
Jeff

I think 27.5 is 650b in road cycling terminology. Not popular, more for ladies and kids who find a full size 700c road bike too large, but even then a lot just use 26".
2.125" in a road tread pattern is kind of heavy touring sizes and I have never heard of touring bikes with 650b. It's all 26" or 700c X up to 47mm / 1.85" Schwalbe or Continental.
So back to 27.5" .. I think it is MTB only, and not even a lot of choice there. Just AFAIK. Sorry. Ask on a bicycle touring forum maybe.

That is the size tire that came on my Schwinn from the factory and it is a street tire. I did find a 27.5 x 2 street tire and going to try it.
