That's a tough one. What you seek is the 599 ISO/E.T.R.T.O. size, and as far as I know, they've been
extinct for quite a few years.
The closest match would be the 597 mm size, known as _Schwinn_ 26 x 1
3/8. (also known as English 26 x 1 1/4.)
These are available from various sources, including
http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/tires.html#597.
They are not guaranteed to work, but that's what I'd try.
