On the ragged edge of sanity, consider car tires like for the original Mini Cooper. They had 10" rims as well but I'm sure the width is greater than 90, it was probably a 145 or something.

Thanks for the help! I'm not sure car tires would work on a motorcycle. Remember, motorcycle tires are rounded so you can lean the bike while cornering. The tread on car tires is flat for stability, but it would be difficult to turn on a motorcycle with car tires.
I actually ended up ordering the Michelin S1 tures. They will be here on Monday (according to UPS tracking), so I'll let you know how they turn out.
