New ATC Owner

[MojaveRider223]

Just bought my first 3 wheeler, an '85 ATC250R for $750. Picked it up from the original owner, his dad bought it for him when he was 16 back it '85. It's bone stock, and the chassis is in great shape. It still has the original tires on it, though they are bald and cracking, original tool kit, original piston in the engine, stock pipe and silencer. The plastics need some help and both front and rear master cylinders are trashed, but hopefully I can get it fixed up and looking good.

Obviously it needs tires. For the rear I'm going to get a pair of Dunlop KT577a's, just to keep it original, but the front KT576 is discontinued (which I'm sure many of you know). What is another tire that is close to the same tread pattern to replace it? I'm not paying $350+ for a front tire on a $750 trike.
