Metzeler ME11-ME77 Classic
Bryanj:
You need a 3.25 x 18 perfect ME11 and a 3.50 x 18 perfect ME77.
The front will be considerably dearer than the rear as it is not used on many bikes
Bullit:
Is 3.25x18 suitable for a 350? As mine has a 2.75x18 and looks tiny compared to the 3.50 on the rear

STD tyres on the CB350F are the same as the CB400F, 3.00-18 Front & 3.50 Rear ;) 2.75 is a size that I would use on the front of a 250cc.

What do DS use on their rebuilds they sell? I guess it's Maxxis type.. I was planning to use these on the three twins (2xCB250K0's & 1x 350K1) that I am building, as they look the part from an originality point of view. Any thoughts?

All the tire places I spoke too gave me these metric sizes, I just gave them the rim sizes old tire sizes and the bike it was for.
I guess they just gave the closest modern size.
It certainly narrows down the choices even more sticking with the original sizes exactly.
I don't think Metzeler make the front in a 3.25 x 18.
I emailed Metzeler yesterday, they replied today and said this.
"Dear Andy,
Thank you for your email,
We would recommend the following available sizes for your bike/model respectively; please note that the below fitments must have clearance on the hugger/mud guards in both front and rear.
