Would anyone know if there would be any issues in using a 350/10 tyre on the front, and using a 100/90-10 on the rear? I have two new tyres to get fitted on to tubeless rims, but just wondered if there would be any handling problems etc.
Thanks

No problems same set up as mine. As long as you don't put a bigger tyre on the front you should be fine.

Works for me...

The 100/90 x 10 usually has a higher weight load rating than a 350 so ideal if you travel 2 up or with rally luggage.

I accidently bought a 100/90 swable racemen recently when I wanted a 90/90. Anyone got one and fancy a swap, even if the 90/90 is a bit worn?

I like it that way.
most motorbikes run [sometimes much] bigger tyres on the back, to improve the handling and get the power down.

I used to run a 350/10 dexter on the rear on a 4 inch rim, the tyre having a wider profile on this rim lasted longer, I think it might have been because of the wider contact patch.....I only fitted it to drop the gearing a touch. smaller rolling radius of the tyre....as it was I got another thousand miles before I replaced it and ran it like this till ( 6 Dexter tyres later) I fitted the Rapido 225 and put the std rim back on...... Now Im going to up gear with the 100/90 and 4 inch rim....If it fits on..??

100 /90 is usually ok on a std rim but on a wide rim it's touch and go whether it fouls on the casing or not.

Thanks (as always) for the replies.
