I've been getting Continental Sport 1000 locally.
They're on the Conti website in 27 x 11/8 and 1/1/4:

****bar sells IRC tires which seem to be much lighter in weight.

For those CR listees and the rest of the world for whom it matters, there are even some shops that contribute (and even organize) our group that carry a variety of tires in this size.
We actually keep the 27" in a separate room (along with 700D , 650B, 28x1.75, and other non 700c's) from the more popular 700c size. I can't speak for Sheldon or Dale, but we have Specialized, IRC, Conti in a few styles, and a very popular Panaracer.
Hope this info is helpful.
