New ETZ owner - rear tyre?

[Ohowson]

I've just picked up an ETZ251. Needs a new rear before I stick it through an MOT - it's currently got a block C 3.50/16 on there. I'd like a reasonable mix of cost and quality, obviously, anyone got suggestions? Particularly including delivery within UK

Looking forward to a first ride - just need to sort tyre, mot, tax, insurance, and a bug plank to be able to get it out of my van.

That's not (quite) the right size for a 251, although some people fit them instead of the correct 3.25 x 16. The 3.50 is the correct fitment for a TS250/1.

I've been using Mitas H-05 for the last four years or so. They're as good as the best, and (almost) as cheap as the cheapest.

i am having a hard time finding tires for my 1995 saxon tour
90/90 x 18 front and 110/70 x16 in the usa

i am in the usa and its odd sizes here

heidenau preferred
k66 snowtex scooter works for rear but front 300x 18 is hard to find
roads are tar and chip and very slick when wet

it has Pirelli now and they are very slick when wet

I ended up with the German thing the shop had. Can't remember the make - does look good but was expensive. Regretting it now as want to take it off-road so need some nobblies. Wondering about just getting a couple of spare wheels as and when I can and keeping two sets of tyres on the go.
