I need to replace the tires on my Vespa GTS 250 .

any suggestions 120/70/12 front 130/70/12 rear . I had the scooter up at 80mph for a short burst . I will be using this as a daily rider to and from work . A good all around tire wet dry hot cold . What do you think will be my best choice ?

I saw that I'm not shopping by price at this point . Safety is on my mind with longevity of tire life . I'm willing to be flexible .

What's the highest your willing to pay for a tire/s for a 50cc scoot? $30, $50, or $100 per' tire? Me, I'd say my limit is around $50 a tire. _

I have the same size tires on my Aeoulus 300. I use michilin city grip tires. I got 8000 out of the front and 6000 miles out of the rear on the set I bought for my other scooter (I have 2 Linhai Aelous 300's). They are very reliable and handle the road like nobody's business. I highly recommend them. Here is were I bought mine from.
