With there not being many 350's around now, try a pm to bludge, him and his brother Wil were quick on their 350 last year (and always ;) )
you're down to yokies or avons for a start.
They'll know .

Hi John

Bludge and I allways ran Avon tyres from BMTR in Birmingham,we had a 6.2 " on the front and sidecar and a 7.2" on the rear and we had the medium compound, I allways fancied trying a soft compound on the rear but the man at BMTR told me that wasnt needed !!, i found them very helpfull,

The attraction to using yokies was that Ian from Express tyres thought that he would be able to sqeeze a 7.2" low profile front on the bike which could have been an advantage so the front didnt push on so much but we never went up that road.

I often thought that to much rubber on the road on a 350 could be a bit of a drawback as it might scrub to much speed off when you slide them in to the corners,this was the technique we had to employ to carry the corner speed and keep it whistling so to speak

good luck Wil Smith
