Do not throw away the tires yet. If properly stored and there is no 
cracking in the sidewalls and the tread is good and no delaminations 
you could carefully drive on the tires. Run your hand over the 
sidewalls on both sides and the tread, if you feel a bubble or a
ridge 
the tire is delaminating. Keep the proper air pressure in them 23 
front and 30 rear and you will get some life out of them. On the
other 
hand if you want piece of mind and better performance by all means 
change the tires. There are a lot of opionions as to what is best. 
Consult the Delorean venders for their experiance. As to the old
tires 
put them on E-bay there is a market for them. They could be worth as 
much as $100 each. If you choose to change the rims keep the old ones 
they are also worth alot and are hard to come by.
