Try
www.amerityre.com or
www.nu-teck.com.
I have received 20 inch and 26 inch tires from Amerityre and am happy
with them. There does seem to be a very slight loss of
performance, but I hate flats. It is worth it to me. They are not
as difficult to put on as some people claim.
As for comfort I mostly ride recumbents so it doesn't matter as much
but on my road bike I did notice a slight difference. I just put on
a big padded comfy seat and that made it more comfortable than it was
originally.
I have no experience with Nu-teck but they did supply tires to
Airfreetires.com. I purchased 700 cc tires from airfree last year
and loved them. Unfortunately when I ordered more tires from
airfreetires this year I never got them. Just lots of excuses. I
finally just had to contact my credit card company and get a refund.
My impression is that airfreetires promises to deliver and can't.
Maybe their suppliers cut them off. Their customer service is
practically non-existent. Until you cancel the payment then they
magically come up with lots of excuses......."the dog ate my tires."
As I said Nu-Teck used to supply airfreetires so based on my
experience I suggest trying them.
Good luck.

Don't criticize them until you try the newer ones.
