NCT's weren't specific for the DeLorean. Actually there were a couple of versions of NCT's and the ones that came with the DeLorean were the earlier European version. I'd guess finances played a role in the decision to go with these tires on the car. My personal experience with them convinced me they were horrendous in the wet. High speeds in wet conditions were, in my opinion, down right scary. Bruce Benson > Does anyone on the board know why the nct's were >made specifically > for the Delorean?
