I run an Avon AM26 4.00 x 18 on a WM3. That tire is 4.6" wide, and I have no issues whatsoever, and would buy again in a hearbeat.
Is that the right height? I see a 110/80 listed at https://www.bridgestone.com/products/motorcycle_tires/products/detail/pr176/
I'll have to check my order sheet says 90. back shortly... confirmed, molding on tire says 110/90
I have a K81's on front and rear right now, I can hardly wait to burn that rear tire off so I can put Avon Roadrider AM26 or at least the MKII tires on. When that rear is ready to go, the front will get changed too regardless of how much it is worn.
Yes I've experienced that on the K70's on short bits of overpasses here in BC. Also ran into it on drive home on the 405 after buying a new Mini Cooper S off a dealer lot in Southern Cali. Felt like a wheel was coming off. Diminished after higher mileage reached and ultimately cured switching to Avons on the Mini. On the Commando, also seemed to go away after fitting new spindle bushes in SA and doing the clamp mod.
I had seen this chart but no K81 listed and can't see where a 4.25/85 sits.
Year - sorry. I wasn't really interested in K81s so didn't put them on the list.

Lucky you don't need new Avons this year, as they are backorder all over the country, in our usual sizes. Most dealers don't expect any new shipment before 2022.I’ve been looking at Canada’s https://www.fortnine.ca/en/ site.
They might have things shown a little odd there & they may not have all sizes.
But I do note that on Avon’s website they do differentiate between the MKII & AM26.
It will be next year before I have to deal with it, and for my purposes I would try to get what Avon considers as the MKII, sort of their general riding tire vs the race tire.
Tread pattern looks the same to me, perhaps a softer compound on the AM26?
the front wears square on the side, right side in the UK, I guess left in the US and Europe but mileage much better.
