Hello Mick ,
I have put some miles on a pair of 27 inch x 32 mm Panaracer Pasela tyres . It helps if you remember that 32 mm equals the old traditional 1 1/4 inch width .
I like Panaracer Pasela tyres , very much !
They are available with , or without , Kevlar ( Aramid fiber ) belting under the tread , in the 27 inch size .
They are NOT available with Kevlar ( Aramid fiber ) beads , in the 27 inch size .
Basically your choices in 27 inch are :
Panaracer Pasela
Continental Top Touring 2000 Super Sport Ultra GatorSkin
Michelin World Tour
Avocet FasGrip ( new - old - stock )
And , you can see them all here ( thanks Sheldon ! ) :
