Widest 650c tires?

[andy]

It sounds like a wierd request to many I'm sure, but my wife's bike has 650c
wheels and I am looking for the widest tires available for everyday use,
added comfort, etc. I enjoy my 700x25c and 28c on my road bike. Most 650c
tires are max 23c which is comfy for her but would like to find 25c if
available to try out.
TIA.
Andy

There's now an IRC 650-28 which is pretty widely available. Here or any
bike shop.

When ya all say "650C," I presume you mean 571mm (used by triathletes) and
not the 650A (590mm, used on British 3-speed bikes) or 650B (584mm, french
touring and size currently being revised by Rivendell).

Also, when and what model "650" tire did IRC come out with? Thanks!
