They weren't. I doubt a company as small as DMC could ever get a tire 
manufacturer to make a special line of tire for their own car. not only that, but 
the NCT's really weren't that great compared to other tires of the same era 
(and low-tech today). 

I have a Goodyear ad from around the time that lists every tire line they 
make, and NCT's are in the ad. I believe it said that the Lotus Esprit was 
fitted with them too, as well as quite a few other cars.
