Do not throw away the tires yet. If properly stored and there is no cracking in the sidewalls and the tread is good and no delaminations you could carefully drive on the tires. Run your hand over the sidewalls on both sides and the tread, if you feel a bubble or a ridge the tire is delaminating. Keep the proper air pressure in them 23 front and 30 rear and you will get some life out of them. On the other hand if you want piece of mind and better performance by all means change the tires. There are a lot of opionions as to what is best. Consult the Delorean venders for their experiance. As to the old tires put them on E-bay there is a market for them. They could be worth as much as $100 each. If you choose to change the rims keep the old ones they are also worth alot and are hard to come by.
