I know of a guy that rides a DL650 Vstrom year 'round, all weather, and uses a car tire on the back in the winter - he loves it.
Personally, I'd never even consider using a car tire on a cycle, but then again, I'd never ride something the size of a Vstrom in 6" of snow either.
As far as a wheel and tire choice for an economical motorcycle, with a bias towards mpg, I would look for a narrow, tall, 17" tire that's not very expensive. There are a ton of choices, with the least expensive being Shinko or Avon.
I bought a set of 16" Avon Viper Strykes for $129 delivered - and they were not outdated overstock either. Not as many options for 16s, but if space is a premium you may want to consider it.
