You will be amazed at how new rubber will transform your car. My 8+ year old P Zeros looked like new with plenty of tread but they had definately lost their grip. I tried to convince a coworker who's ultra low mileage Miata with its original 12 year old tires would benefit from new rubber. Her "car guy" husband shot me down because they still look like new. She doesn't know what she is missing!

Plus 1 on that! My 2000 S had 28K miles on it when I bought it 2.5 years ago, was slippery in the round about and the tires look nearly new. Finally decided they must been original because the previous owner only did the IMS and a short shifter and regular maintenance. Went and put full set of Pilot Sports on the car, WOW totally different experience. The old tires had gotten hard with age.
