Tires

What brand and size tires are some of you running on your DMC12?

Hey man, run a quick search and you'll find a TON of information on tires!

Thanks Dave. I did, and unfortunately when you type in "tires" anytime someone mentioned "flat tire" or "the tires are dry rotted" it pulled it up and after winding through 100 or so I gave up.

I just bought a DMC12 that had sat for 10 years, so I am going through the ritualistic protocol of system replacement. And one of those is tires, but I want to get some options.

I did find a few entries about what people were running, but just curious as of more options. Thanks for your help though. I'll need a lot as resurrect this thing.

Where in TX are you?

I now live in Paris, Texas. Raised in Corpus Christi. Moved around with work, but have settled outside of the metroplex in East Texas.

I went with the Falken Ziex zx-512, as they were the only tyres I could find locally where they had front and rears that matched. For the rears I had to go a size smaller 225/60x15. So far they have handled well, and are quite a bit quieter. But then I'm comparing it to the 3 different types of tyres the PO had on her (Dunlops front, Cooper and Dayton on the rear)

I have Cooper Cobras on all four tires.

Hey Chris, what sizes?

[DMCMW Dave]

I have Cooper Cobras on all four tires.

No Longer Available - unless you find a few stragglers in a warehouse somewhere.

Here is a really good thread on tires:

I dont believe there are any matching tires for our cars right now are there?

EDIT:
Just went to tirerack.com and if you put in DeLorean DMC-12, they actually do give the correct tire sizes for the car. Unfortunately if you click "View matching front and rear pairs," it comes back saying that no matching sets are available for those sizes.
