Check out the edges on that thing...like a drag slick, no need for a kickstand.
That's part of the reason why it's a terrible awful idea.
A Vstrom of all bikes is light enough that it won't eat rear tires like the big touring machines would... or if you didn't mind the harsh ride the thinking motorcyclist would just get a "GT" version of their favorite sport touring tire and take it easy on the throttle.
Motorcycle tires inherent shape reduce the chance of hydroplaning, so if a rider is worried about riding in the wet on a worn tire... they are better off on a 2/32 moto tire than a worn car tire (given the larger the tire the more important the sipes are to removing water).
Along with the sidewall not being made for the same load forces a motorcycle cornering at speed will emit...
It's just a bad idea all around.
