Re: DeLorean Tires

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

Yokohama AVS Intermediates are the way to go! The tires have a V 
rating, and are matched for the front and back which means better 
control. Never heard of "Spirit Aqua Flow GTX" tires, but I can 
gurantee you that the Yoko's will get ALL of the water out from under 
you! I've driven the Yokohama's in both drizzles and light rain all 
the way up to moderate flooding. In both cases they have performed 
excellently! When driving on a wet surface, you'd swear that it was 
still dry underneath. Haven't heard very good things about the Eagle 
GT's. From what I've been told they perform alright when dry, but 
slide a bit when wet. Never driven on a good set of NCT's (mine were 
rotten). Goodyear no longer makes the NCT's as you've probably heard 
already, but I've been told that the Yoko's give a much better ride 
anyhow.
