I want to get a new rear tubeless tire and change to 90 degrees valve... old one is flat.
I am fine with stock size tire

Greetings:

I hope you intend to run tubes in that scooter. The Elite rims are tube-type. That means they lack the bead-retention strip inside the rim. In the event of low pressure or riding over sudden shock, the bead can slide over and the tire will instantly deflate. Usually that means you're going down.

Metro wheels fit straight up and are designed to run 90/90s tubeless. If you stick with your Elite rims, you can get tubes with that 90-degree valve stem. Brows MotorcycleSuperstore.com for a really good selection of tires at decent prices. And do consider a couple of those tubes...

IRC, Dunlop, Michelin and Pirelli all seem to give good traction and service and the prices for all but the Michelins are under $25 apiece. My choice was Pirelli SL-26 in the 90/90 size for about $22. They don't shape out as well on the narrower Elite rims however. Consider the Met rims or getting some brand of 3.00s.
