Tire dilemma My Delorean has an original set of tires-Goodyear NCTs. Even though they still look brand new, It's time to change them. My front tires: 195/60/14 My rear tires: 235/60/15 Can the following tires be mounted on a 1983 delorean? Front: 195/60/14 - the answer is obviously YES. Have found them from many manufacturers, but excluding the ones on back order, i have found these brands available for front and rear: 1) Falken-ZE 912 2) Bridgestone Potenza 3) Pirelli-P6 4) Cooper CS4 Rear: here is the dilemma - which tire is the right one? 1) 225/60/15 A) Falken ZE 912 B) Cooper CS4 C) Pirelli P6 2) 235/60/15 None available in this size, only Cooper cobra gt which are on on back order Or 3) 245/50/16 A) Falken ZE912 B) bridegstone - potenza Bottom line: Do I go with 245/50/16 rear? Or Do i go with the 225/60/15 rear? Obviously matching Falkens, Pirelli and bridgestones are the choices here.
