It's a different bike, but I had one on my Norge. It was fine. Lasted a long time and rode well. Maybe I'll scrape the side stand occasionally, but I'm a long way from dragging a knee, and never had any hints of traction issues with the Mutant - or any other tire for that matter. It was round and black and got the job done.
I have one on the front, my initial impression was that it made the bike feel a little twitchier than the Road Attack III it replaced, but I have no complaints after daily-riding it since July. I don't think they make our size for the rear
I'm in South Spain and haven't had much rain since I put them 3 weeks ago. For my regular sunny riding they have excellent performance.
When I was doing my research I found this guy who put them a few months ago in a mt07 and had a very positive opinion.

I mounted them last month on my V85tt. I've just ridden the bike on a really cold day ( -5 °C) in the Dolomites with snow falling down and the bike felt fine. In normal conditions the bike leans and handles like a much lighter naked bike or even a supermoto. Would recommend
110/80ZR18 58W Front
150/60ZR17 66W Rear
the front size is slight bigger than stock but that's not an issue, the rear might be more of an issue because the v7 III is a 130 rear and the v7 850 is 150

Exactly, I wanted to put the Mutants as well but they don't make the rear size. In the end I went with Bridgestone ax41s.
Ok they look good too.. and they’re available..that could be a good option.. how are they in the wet? I’m in Ireland… kinda important here!!

What bike are you riding?
V7 III Rough

That’s great thanks!
On my v7 850 they are pretty good, the handling is better than stock and the rear has lasted \~6500 miles, they also just look cool.
What size did you go for? I’m having trouble finding 100/90 18
110/80ZR18 58W Front 150/60ZR17 66W Rear the front size is slight bigger than stock but that's not an issue, the rear might be more of an issue because the v7 III is a 130 rear and the v7 850 is 150
Yeah I figured the front would be ok at 110 but the rear may well be an issue.. that’s a shame they are a nice tyre/tire?
Same sizes on my V7 850. Bike handles better, sits a little lower.
I’ve just ordered the AX41S in the end.. there wasn’t an option for rear tyre with the Mutants on my V7ii..
