RE: [DML] What Tires to get??

["michael townsley" <townfour@xxxx>]

Could you please fill me in on the "New Goodyear" tires...I have not heard
that they make a matched set for the Delorean. I have the original NCT's on
my car but the car has set along time and when I had the front's balanced I
was told they were out of round. If Goodyear now makes a matched set...then
I could perhaps change the fronts now and reduce the vibration and then
replace the rears latter on.

I had the Yoko's on my car when I bought it, and HATED them. The tread life
was absolutely unacceptable, I don't like the way they look on the car, and
they were scary in the rain. I don't think they're still available anymore
either... they were discontinued within the last year or so. I replaced my
tires with Michelin Pilot XGT's... and I couldn't be happier with them. I
believe their traction is every bit as good, if not better than the Yoko's
(though I think the new Goodyears look the best), the ride MUCH better, and
they also look really good on the car. Their tread wear has proven much
better too. Quite a few owners are now putting these on their cars, so I'm
not the lone nutty one... LOL. Congrats on the new DeLo too by the way!
