Pirelli offering re-developed tyres for classic car models

[Rich W]

Article is primarily for classic Porsche tire sizes, but the DeLorean may benefit if they re-develop DeLorean OEM tire sizes
or at least some tires that are "close" to DeLorean OEM sizes, like 195-60-14 and 225-60-15 with the Pilot tread design.

if a company like Porsche can do this, surely DMC can. After all, they are in need of an "official" tire supplier for their new build cars, right?

Oops, got the models and makes mixed up. I meant to say Pirelli P-Zero tread design, not the Michelin Pilot design.

It's probably more likely the old P6000 and P600 tread designs will be re-developed for the DeLorean OEM tire sizes.
(the P6000 for the 195/60-14 and the P600 for the 235/60-15, which both have been unavailable for about a decade)

to be fair theres tons more classic Porsches out there than deloreans.

^ True. However, DMC will need a tire supplier if they are to build "new" cars, especially if they are going to stick with the stock sizes.

I think they mentioned putting larger wheels on the "new" cars.
