Due, perhaps, to the increasing popularity of fixed wheel bicycle conversions from older lugged frame bikes of the 70's, etc. there are now a number of easily available quality 27" tires. I own a 1977 Schwinn P-15 Paramount, which was equipped with 27" wheels. There was a dirth of decent 27" tires for years, but I think the situation has changed considerably.
For example, Panaracer makes a 27" x 1", 1 1/8" or 1 1/4" Pasela tire (including the TG Tour Guard types), these are quality tires that are obviously much better than the crap that used to be available for 27" wheelsets. There are also good 27" tires available from Vittoria (Zaffiro and Rubino Tech), another tire that is available is the Vredestein Perfect Moiree. The latter tire is promoted as being especially suitable for commuting or long distance touring. Any of the tires I've mentioned, are in my opinion quite suitable for a bicycle that is intended for commuting.
