I seem to be having problems finding these sizes tires. The last two sets I
got were from Performance, with the kevlar belts. Anyone? Thanks.

Any particular reason for wanting the nominal 26 mm width? 25 and 28
seem to be more common sizes but there's some variation between makes
anyway so differences of a mm or two aren't very significant.

the only reason is that that's what I've used before. But since it
apparently makes little difference, I'll get what's available. Thanks to
you and OBS.

Try searching for a source of Panaracer Pasela TourGuard 700x28. Good
tires that run a bit narrow (the 700 x28 has a mounted width of
25-26mm) and are value priced (probably available for well under $20;
if anyone wants, say, $24.95, find a less greedy source).
