[DML] Re: Spare Tire.

["cbl1739" <cbl302@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just a word of caution on the use of a  NON-ORIGINAL spare tire on a 
Delorean..you can get away with using a non original spare on the 
front of a Delorean..but under NO circumstances must you use a non 
original spare on the rear of a Delorean..as the original WAS 
engineered by WEIGHT and Size to handle the Deloreans rear 
suspension,and to be used for a short distance(under 55 miles both 
for SPEED and distance)to limp you home or to a garage.If using a non 
original spare(tire/rim combo)under no  circumstance must you drive 
it at highway speeds.Again as the ONLY spare tire that was engineered 
to work on a Delorean(safely)was the NOS spare.If the orignal is 
bad,replace with a new tire,and have it balanced.
