If you are going to go with the stock rims that came on the Delorean, you have to stay with the 15 inch diameter rear tire. I have been driving Coopers on all of my cars for decades and I really like them. I have Coopers on the front of my Delorean and NCT's on the back. 225 is the width of the tread which is a little narrower than stock. If you can wait for the back order for the 235 Cooper's, I would.

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. What's a boy to do? boB www.bobcutrupi.com [moderator snip] ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
