Overview
Why Is the Kenda Street K35 Tire a Classic Road Replacement?
The Kenda Street K35 Tire in 27 x 1-1/4 is a dependable replacement tire for older road bikes and vintage-style builds running the classic 27-inch wheel format. The K35 street tread pattern is smooth and road-focused, rolling efficiently on pavement with minimal resistance for the kind of practical, everyday riding these bikes are built for. If you have a vintage road bike or a retrofit build that takes 27-inch wheels, this is one of the few tires designed specifically for that sizing still readily available.
Wire bead clincher construction makes the K35 easy to mount and keeps it affordably priced, which is appropriate for a tire that lives on bikes where practicality matters more than cutting-edge performance. The 27 x 1-1/4 size is a legacy format that predates modern 700c standardization, and finding the right replacement tire can be a genuine challenge. The Kenda K35 fills that gap cleanly, making it a useful stock item for shops that service older bikes or customers with vintage road machines.

FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Kenda
There's more to Kenda than this one product. Our Kenda page has the full Kenda lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Kenda page →Are 27-inch and 700c wheels interchangeable?
No. 27-inch and 700c are close in diameter but not the same. Tires and tubes are not interchangeable between the two formats without a wheel swap.
What kind of bikes use 27 x 1-1/4 tires?
Vintage road bikes from the 1970s and 1980s commonly used this size, as did many entry-level road and touring bikes before 700c became the universal standard.
Is the K35 suitable for commuting?
Yes. It is a practical, smooth-rolling street tire well suited for commuting, casual road riding, and everyday use on vintage or classic road bikes.
