Tyres

Oh dear, just trying to order a replacement for my front tyre and found Avon Speedmaster no longer made.

I have Avon SM on rear.  What alternative would suit for the front that would be safe with the rear tyre currently fitted, or am I going to have to buy a pair of something else?

I recently fitted Bridgestone

Seems good, should be ok with the Avon rear

Can you get any of the Avon range now?  Thought they'd be bought out and no longer made over here

Completely down a lovely tyre rabbit hole now.  My front has 3.50 x19 which has always worked very well.
Many of you use 3.25 and many tyres do not even seem to come in 3.50.  Can anyone offer a balanced view about which is better and why.  I've always favoured having as much rubber as I can get away with and 3.50 front has always worked well thus far.
