[DML] Re: New Yokohama tires

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

We have found the AVS tires to be the best all around tires for the
DeLorean. 
They offer a comfortable quiet ride and can handle any challenge your
DeLorean can offer them. However, I am concerned about the size of the
front tires. The 205 is considerably oversized than the spec. 195's. This
size tire my come into contact with the fender during severe menders.
