After my spark plug issue, I started think a little more about my car. As I've said before, it's a very low optioned 2002, with around 7,300 miles, that I bought new in October of 2001. The car has been garaged all it's life, but still, it's almost 10 years old. I'm taking care of the fluids, but what about the tires? Should I consider replacing them? The tires are Z rated Goodyears, they look good and don't seem to have any cracks or leaks. I realize I'm not doing the car any favors by letting it sit, and I plan to drive it a good bit more in the future. Thanks for any thoughts you guys may have.

get new ones. my originals seemed fine, until tread blocks started chunking out, after one drag pass and one autox event. they were original, 20k mile, 3-4yrs old. at least 75% tread, then down to 25% after the one autox.

get another set of rims for race tires, keep the originals. if you plan on keeping the car, having the original rims AND tires will only help the value and collectability.
