The ratio stays the same, circumference of the tyre is larger, and that may give you 2 ish mph at top end :D
When i was young my Mom said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing at all " ..................... and people wonder why I'm quiet around them !

I just checked with a Gearbox Visualiser Excel spreadsheet which I downloaded from somewhere (could have been form off here?) and for the same make tyre Swalbe Raceman, it says 100/90-10 = 136.4cm and 350-10 = 137.7. If you change makes then the figures fo all over the place :?
100/90-10 works out 3 mph slower at 6.5k rpm.

I have Swalbe 3.50 on the front and 100/90 on the rear and they are both the same height stood together just that the 100/90 is 8mm wider measured with a vernier.When I set my digi speedo I measured the circumferance and got a different size to what is quoted,I used a cloth tape first on the tyres centre line then did the distance travelled along the ground sat on the scoot.

The sizes for the swobbly tyres (for the digi speedos) are on the swobbly tyres web site linked to md developments web site, remember tho they do wear so the speedo will be a tint bit out as the tyre wears down. Minimal tho.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.
