Very nice looking car, congrats.

I would be really concerned about running the original tires. I had two radial TA's fail last weekend on my Pace Car after driving on the freeway. The tires were about 10-12 years old.

My car failed the annual inspection in Dubai due to the date code on tires being more than 5-years old. Maximum tire age is 5-years for all cars. Probably a smart rule to eliminate any high speed blowouts.
