hello members, i have 2016 bs3 (Euro3) royal enfield standard 350 and i rode only 22k kms on it so it time to change my stock tyre as it is very thin and not so grippy the stock size is 3.23-19 at both front and rear. i decided to install block pattern touring tires both front and rear from reise moto a newly launched brand in india the model is reise TourR and the available size for standard 350 is 3.50 -19 for rear and 90/90 R19 from the classic 350 for front and there is no 3.25-19 option so my doubt and confusion is 3.50 inches is exactlly 88.9mm width and front width is 90mm so the rear tyre is 1.1mm thinner than the front is it ok to install this combination on my bullet? please clear my doubts and i attach tyre pattern pictures

Not all the width of the 90/90 tyre will be in contact with the road surface, 3.50 x 19" on the back and 90/90 x 19" will be OK. What other makes of tyre do you have to choose from?

limited options for 3.50-19 from ceat and mrf only old school type pattern tyres are available and from apollo block pattern tyre is there but its look very thin but ok good tyre and for front tyre 3.23-19 size only rib patern tyres are available which i dont want, whats your thoughts on rib tyres and but the block pattern tyre is only available from 110 section from all the available makers in india but 110 tyre will touch rear fender so only last and widest tyre that suits with bike is 3.50-19 size tyre.i will attach all the tyre pictures from mrf, ceat and apollo. thankyou for your reply

The classic choice here would be a ribbed Avon 3.25x19 front and SM Mk2 3.50 x 19 on the rear to list but one of the available makes. Tyre compounds have improved since those tyre first came out, though they are very old fashioned tread patterns. You seem to have a very limited range available, but your original pairing would be better.
