27" can be imprecise for a specification.
Look at the original tires.
Is there a number on there in the range 559 to 635?
27" is most commonly an ISO 630 mm size, but could
be something else. If there is not an ISO specification
on the original tire, take the original tire to bicycle
shops, hoping to match the size side-by-side.
