I am looking for a more vintage looking tire for my 2021 v7 special. I do know that this is not a performance choice it is purely astatic. I had looked at the Dunlop mutants. the rear is a 150/70/17 and the front is a 100/90/18. I believe the mutants come in a 150/ 60zr-17 and a 110/80zr-18 so i do not think these will fit. If it was possible to put firestones or shinkos on them that would be my choice but i do not believe there is size that would fit. any suggestions on tires would be a huge help. and im open to why this is not a great idea as well. I am running conti attack 3s now and they are great tires just about time for some new ones.

The 110/80/18 fits fine. You'd have to measure the width on the rear but I doubt you could go wider.

As for vintage tire, I used to love the old Metzler 99 perfect/33 lazer combo. To me they scream 70's/80's bikes.. Loved the look , but all the newer Metzler tires ive used I have not liked.

yeah i think the lasertech is the way that i am going to go.

No idea if they come in the correct sizes for the V7, but I put pirelli route 66 tires on the convert. They are a good compromise of modern rubber with a vintage ish look. The pilot street two tires also are less sport bike and appearance which is what I assume you're going for?
So far I'm very pleased with them. They replaced Bridgestone BT45 if I remember correctly.

The Bridgstone AX41S have been studied for appearance and grip
