    Looking for a tyre twenty-seven inches by one-and-three-eighths, ie 37 x 630, for a bike brought home from far away. The only ones I can see online are either £50+ or an unknown make.

    SJS are cool but I don't know what shipping charges are like.

    Does the width matter?

    According to bike shops asked about this, the width does matter. Would try changing the wheel, but it has a hub dynamo. If we don't find the right tyre here, we can get it from the faraway country.

    It sounds like a Japanese bike or at least East Asia somewhere but I could be wrong!
    Any 27×1 1/4 (32-630) tyre should fit absolutely fine, the bikes I've come across with the wider size haven't been all that old and tend to have clincher rims anyway.
    You have huge choice in 27×1 1/4 tyres and can pick them up anywhere, I like a nice white wall tyre myself.

    Thanks; tyre ordered from far away.

    If it became a serious issue, you could rebuild the wheel with a 700c rim but you'd be spending on rim and spokes and would probably spend near the same as a new dynamo wheel...

    Yeah. This old bike, while beloved, is already a hames; it goes crrrankkk crannkkk when you pedal due to a fucáilte bottom bracket.
