I have a TaoTao powermax 150 The taotao website lists tire size as 120/70/12 But my stock tires say 3.50 x 12 Is there a difference? What are the range of sizes my rim can support? Ive seen a few sets that come with a 120/70 front and a 130/70 rear,do these fit? Also I plan on having the local shop put them on for me, my question is do I get tube or tubeless tires and are all rims able to go tubeless?

Most modern scoots are tubeless. Have them check the valve stems while you're at it.
I would strongly suggest going by the numbers on the scoot itself. Maybe call around to local tire dealers/scoot shops if you can. Lots of cool things can be done with tyres these days-- Adding rubber, stretching, custom tread, have your logo on the sidewall, etc... money spent is the only obstacle.
Low profile, White walls, Winter, Summer, All season tread, the possibilities are endless. A decent pair of Michelin's from an honest dealer is the best way to go IMO.
You have a 12 inch rim and a 3.5 inch width tire. Ordering online and having the install done at a shop can save some money but, A decent tire shop with labor will cost around the same amount with a warranty!!!
Just my 5 cent opinion.
Good Luck and keep it rubber side down!!!!
