I can't offer any Delorean tire comparisons to the brands you mention, but previous experience on TA's was BAD. Horrible wear, and a "loose" feel. Sidewall stiffness maybe? Anyway for the D, two weeks ago I picked up a set of AVS's from TireRack.com for $393.92 total, shipped (fedex 2-day), installed and balanced at my own installer. It is a night and day difference compared with the Rikens that I inherited. Mauri. #3153 Austin, TX
