As I said in the title, I’m looking to replace my tires but am having trouble finding the right thing online. It doesn’t need to be the same brand but if someone can point me towards the right type and size that would be much appreciated.
Basically any 27 inch tire. It might also say 630 on it because that is the diameter in mm.
These tires are getting harder to find as years go by.

27 x 1 1/4, as others have said. Any bike shop should have them. They are considered “vintage,” but still common enough that they will carry some. Also, be sure to ask for it in fraction form (twenty seven by one and a quarter), since the decimal and fraction versions of tires are completely different sizes.

The main number you care about is 630. That’s also known as the ISO diameter. It is in mm and it will be printed on every tire that size. 700c is 622 mm ISO, old-school 26” mountain bikes are 559 mm ISO. Your tire here is the older 27” size, common on 10-speed bikes made in the late 1970s to early 1980s. This size won’t be easy to find these days, so nothing else matters. If you find any 630 mm tire, that’s the one to buy.
