[DML] Re: Tire Replacement





Michelin seems to call a lot of tires "Pilots". Are these Pilot 
Sports or something else (H-something)? The Sports are noisy, 
expensive and don't last very long, at least on my M3. I think the 
DeLorean size is in a different and somewhat more long-lived line.

I've driven a couple of DeLoreans on no-name tires (Cooper, , low-
line Goodyear etc) and honestly think they ride nicer in everyday 
driving than my Yokos. But you will give up some handling capability 
(more understeer).

wear on the edges from my happy-fun-time hard cornering, but that's 
it.

good deal of snow, ice, and rain driving on them as well as dry 
pavement.
