I have just fitted Pirelli Diablo Scooters in OEM sizes, rides lovely.
A set of manual kit for tyre changing (bead breaker, levers & rim protectors [4+ of each is good], balancer) with cost about £200 here in the UK. You'll also need access to an airline with good flow. Sometimes you'll get lucky and the tyre will seal well enough to be blown onto the bead with just a hand bicycle pump (I've done it once on a Kwak ER6N a few years back!) but it will knacker you out. The problem is when the tyre won't seal at all and your car tyre pump can't flow enough air fast enough to overcome the leaks. I had to use a local tyre shop's airline for my front wheel!
It can save you money in the long run, but it costs a bit up front. Unless your changing tyres 3-4 times per year, it probably isn't worth the faff.
