Viktor, Go for it. Driving a Delorean in the snow can be a blast, but save the real fun for open spaces like empty, snow packed parking lots. The Delorean handles quite well in the snow with the right tires. I would recommend using an old set of stock rims for less headaches. If you were in the States, I would recommend going with Bridgestone Blizzaks (WS-50) or the Michelin Artic Alpine snow tires. I usually use one size smaller tires for winter use, 185/60-14 and 225/60-15. Both manufacturers carry these sizes and stock sizes as well. I ran Blizzaks on a Merkur XR4ti in the late 90's with good results. I ran Dunlop Graspics on my 944 over the last few years with very good results and am currently running a set of Goodyear winter tires on my 928, although I know that this model has been discontinued. But since you are in Sweden, I would highly recommend looking into the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 series tires (or is it tyres). These tires are fantastic and most of the people in my local Porsche club give them very high praise. I am currently running them on my Ford Mustang GT (225/60-15) and my VW Corrado (195/50-15). Last I had checked, front sizes are available in 185/60-14 and 195/60-15, but the only close rear size is the 225/60-15 my Mustang GT is running. I have found that narrower tires are usually better for winter use. Of course, this rule does not apply to the D Rex (44 x 19.5 x 15) Have fun, but try to keep the salt off and the stainless straight.
