I doubt a motorcycle can exceed the stress forces required to test the limits of a car tire under normal "commute" or even "aggressive" street riding.
Yeah, thing that lots of naysayers forget since they haven't tried it themselves, is these people already have had tyres overheat and explode on them!!! They're not testing any waters or risking anything, they've had outright dangerous failure of motorcycle tyres; it can't get any worse because they've already experienced worse case scenario!!! By going to higher load-handling auto tyres, they're actually improving their set-up, reducing problems and lowering risk.
