I don't understand your math here. $5/day / 120 miles = about 4 cents/mile for tires.
Lower-cost scooter tires from Amazon are about $37 shipped.
Amazon.com: Shinko SR429 Front - Rear Scooter Tire - 130/60-13/--: Automotive
$37 X 2 = $74. 74.00/0.04 = 1850 miles.
Do you really expect the tires to only last 1850 miles? That seems kinda low to me.
