12 year old tires!?!?! Dang, that's gotta be close to some sort of record around here. On a bright side, those wheels must be in good shape!
Were this my car... before I installing new tires I'd have fun finding an autocross or car control clinic where I could go tear those puppies up for a day/afternoon (if I could get the vehicle there safely w/o risk... i.e. towing as there's plenty of risk driving on 12yr old tires). Those events are most often held in extremely low probability of incident zones (huge pads of asphalt/concrete w/o obstructions like buildings, light posts, curbs, etc). Then you can really learn what sloppy handling tires feel like on a precise Porsche instrument. You'll come to appreciate the new tires in correct size for you new baby immediately following.
Congrats and drive her in good health!
