The tires on my Elite 250 are beat to hell, and I'd like to replace them. I've done some looking at tires, and I'm trying to find a low rolling resistance tire. I'd rather not pay over $35/tire either. The factory size is 10-4.00, but I'd be willing to change to a different 10 inch size, since the 4.00 is getting to be a rare size.

Can anyone recommend a tire to buy? I do mostly high-speed riding, and I'd like a long-life tire. Right now, I have my eye on the Michelin S1: Michelin S1 Performance Scooter Tire - Scooter - Tires - Motorcycle Superstore

I'm also not sure what size to buy. I'm thinking either 10-3.50 or 90/90-10.
