If you mean the 597mm ones to fit (English) EA1 rims I think that Kenda are the only ones left making tyres that will fit, by virtue of the fact that they are still making them for Schwinn S5 26" x 1-3/8 wheels?

The DO fit, although they are a little chubby. If, however, you come across suitable NOS tyres by another manafacturer (EG: Schwalbe, Dunlop or Michelin, etc.) ferretted-away somewhere, buy them all!

Googling for "26 x 1-1/4 EA1 597" should find you web-sites selling these Kendas ...
