[DML] Re: Tire Replacement

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michelin seems to call a lot of tires "Pilots". Are these Pilot 
Sports or something else (H-something)? The Sports are noisy, 
expensive and don't last very long, at least on my M3. I think the 
DeLorean size is in a different and somewhat more long-lived line.

I've driven a couple of DeLoreans on no-name tires (Cooper, , low-
line Goodyear etc) and honestly think they ride nicer in everyday 
driving than my Yokos. But you will give up some handling capability 
(more understeer).

tires and I can't really notice much wear at all.  --Maybe some mild 
wear on the edges from my happy-fun-time hard cornering, but that's 
it.

good deal of snow, ice, and rain driving on them as well as dry 
pavement.
