Not sure what the normal "runout" of a tire is or if there is even any specification that limits it.

My VIN: Early
I have replaced the tires on my 17" rims as well as installed the original 14". That makes a total of 6 different tires for testing, and they all had the same problem on BOTH hubs. So I removed both hubs and used a flat edge on the face to check it.
Well it turns out some asshole pounded both wheel hubs with a hammer causing them to warp on the edge. And I believe this was done when I had my bearings pressed in at a Goodyear service center back in 2014...
So with that, I just ordered 2 hub and bearing assemblies from Josh at DPI.

Moved to new house today. Car started right up after being in storage all winter . Took wife for first ride in it up the driveway of the new house lol. Now I get to set up the garage all over again. Thought the elevated shot from moving truck was cool.

Washed it, because a) I drove in sub-optimal road conditions a couple times last week and b) some dude messaged our club on FB looking for a rental this Saturday and even though he appears to have flaked, I just know if the car is filthy he's gonna call me Saturday morning and be like, "So we'll see you at 7, right?"

My neighbor has a detached garage with lots of toys. If that were my garage, I would have a few more DeLorean projects under those covers
