Re: Dax/ST Tyres
I run Michelin S1's on mine, the rear tyre only lasts around 2,000 miles. I've read a few posts on scooter forum's saying tyres aren't as hard wearing as they used to be.
Years ago I ran a metzeler and that seemed to last much longer, but having said that my current bike has over twice the power of that early ST70.
I always use 100/90, I think they look better than 3.5. Although there is a bigger choice of 3.5's

3.5 http://www.oponeo.co.uk/moto-tyre-finder/3-50-10-tyres
If I was to take a gamble on the longest lasting tyre I'd say Mitas, but that's just a total guess on my part.
