Is the v-Strom a tubed tyre, if so I’d give the K60s a miss. For me they are the best tyre but the walls are so hard I don’t think you’d be able to change a tube on the road - they’re even hard with machines. If you’re tubeless though......
I think Ted is right about TKC80s - they wear out too quickly
TKC70s are a great long lasting tyre and good enough for dry rocky trails, farm tracks etc.. My wife uses them and we hit snow and landslides going over the high atlas and they were fine.
Motoz are a newish tyre in the UK (Australian) with great reviews - wear very well, they’re a tire I’d like to try.
As for the wee strom - We were on a big bike off road event in Spain and a guy turned up on one With upgraded suspension, knobby tires, bash plate etc.... and it went everywhere the KTMs, GSs ATs etc went - obviously he was a very capable rider.
Enjoy the trip.
