What knobbies for a V7 stone?

I have a Bridgestone Battle-Wing  502  Rear      140/80R-17 V rated tire that has less that 100 miles on it left over from a failed project. If anyone can use it, the price will be right.
 Not sure what you would use for the front but if anyone in the Phoenix area can use it send me a PM the price will be right. I don't have anything it will fit now and it should be used while it is still fresh.

If you must have a knobby knobby, another good tire is the Metzeler Sahara.  They have a 120-18.

Is it mounted backwards?

Yes, it is.

Shame you're on the other side of the country, I need a rear tire.

Yes, it is.

I knew it was, guess I should've more properly asked, why? Seems kinda useless the way it is with the tread backwards. Looks like maybe it's a rear and someone mounted it according to the direction arrow on the sidewall.

I have them on another bike (tube type). The rear is not so bad, but the front in not good at all. On the road it is OK, but totally blows in the dirt. I looked at the Karoo, but not sure I want to go with Metzler at this time.

My brain hurts from looking. I'm pretty sure the Shinko e805 will be on the back, and if need be, the K60 front. There is one Trials type tubeless might be an option. It was tubeless and pricey, 4 x 18, and very soft compound. Probably would not do well on the street, but thinking about trying it. How bad could it be right?

Again it is not mounted backwards and it is a front tire.  I mounted it myself.

The direction of the tread indicates otherwise. Normally, on front tires with a V-shaped tread pattern, the V would point backwards when viewed from above. The opposite of a rear tire.

Wonder how this trials tire would handle on the front. It is the only thing I have found so far that is actually tubeless.

Diameter might be too big.

Anybody run one of these? I think it is tubeless, does't really say.
