The point has been made, and I agree, that even if a good LOOKING set of 20 year old tires are found, that in no way indicates that they are safe. Frankly, I dont know why anyone would risk safety (or even reliability) for a trophy. Furthermore (as I have said before), I can't understand why any DeLorean "authority" would encourage such a practice. Points should be DEDUCTED for 20 year old tires, along with any other original unsafe items. Ya, I know the arguments about how other "concourse" events are run, but that does not make it correct.
