110/80ZR18 Michelin Pilot front please. Pilot Road 3s in this size out of PRODUCTION

Happy Thanksgiving,

My 85 K100RS and 90 K75S have wide rear rims and modified center stands to run radials, Michelin Pilot Road 3s lately.
The front Michelin Pilot Road 3 110/80ZR18 is out of PRODUCTION and Michelin doesn't appear to me to have any front radial in that size now.
My forks, fenders and screws etc. look not to accept the 120/??ZR18" front that is partly available.

110/80ZR18 front also fits(according to tire bandit website (I think)):
K100LT ABS : 1990–1992
K100RS : 1991
K100RS ABS : 1991–1992
K1100LT : 1994
K1100LT ABS : 1993–1996
K1100LT ABS High Line : 1997
K1100LT ABS SE : 1994, 1997
K1100LT SE : 1997
Mystic R100R : 1994–1995
R100R : 1992–1995

Michelin USA phone number person would not say if Pilot Road 4s will start in this size.
Michelin Pilot Road 5s only starting in two other front sizes.

Hoping to get a new front this winter, Michelin . . .

MOA forum has a gear section about Pilot Road 5s and a short version of this note is there as well but the K-bike fitments warrant noting it in this section of our forum.

I don't think the FJR1300's belong in your list. I think they are 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 rear.

If I were in your predicament, I would run the Bridgestone T30 EVO and be happy.
 
Orig. Poster here;

US dealers said look on ebay. Suzuki store in the UK had 3, I bought two of them, date code this year. I'm good for a over a year.
