I assume you mean tyres for 26 x 1 1/4 rims? If so, then Harris Cyclery may still have some Schwalbe tyres which are the best quality for this size. Blackwall, mixed tread. There are also Schwinn tyres for this size readily available which are abysmal being far too "fat" in profile. You can also order the Schwalbe tyres from the UK but check with Sheldon Brown first as I know he stocked some of these.
