You should be able to get the AVS Intermediate in 195/60VR14, the stock
size.

Regardless of that, 205/60R14 should work just fine too. They will be
slightly larger but probably not enough to really be noticeable.

The AVS Intermediate is an excellent tire. I have used them on RX-7s and
while they are not a true track tire, they will still develop a whole lot
more grip than the NCTs that came with the car. For a street tire, they
are about as high quality as you can get while still maintaining some
reasonable tread life.

The AVSi is probably the most popular DeLorean-sized tire available. It's
a pretty stiff tire, but the DeLorean likes that. :}

Michelin also makes some 195/60HR14s, but they are a different tread
pattern and compound than the 235/60HR15s that would fit the back, which
is bad.
