Default Thinking of selling my Electron Blue '02

Hey Guys, I usually don't post on any sites but I'm thinking of selling my "02 due to a family crisis and wanted some input from members. This is my first Vette and I love everything about it. The car is a bone stock Electron Blue/Tan interior with nearly 11k on it. It is a fully loaded automatic with both tops but w/o the Magnetic ride control. I am the second mature owner that never abused the car. I had the oil changed and service at a local GM dealer where the mechanic an obvious Chevy enthusiast went over the car quite thoroughly. The car needed nothing because all had been taken care of by previous owner. He said not to change the tires after inspection because they showed no dry rot and are in great shape.
My question, "Should I put new tires on it?" if I put it up for sale. Like I said the tires, be they the original Goodyear "Eagle F1" run flats they are in great shape with less than 11k on them.

Sell it with the original tires. Hope life brings another Corvette to you in the future.

Let them be, the new owner will most likely want to change them out to something in his/here own interest.

Great color btw, 02/03 only, one of the most desirable on the C5.

Tires deteriorate with time and become unsafe. The conditions the tire experiences e.g. heat can cause them to deteriorate faster than normal. The manufacture date is on the tire. If the tire is over 6 years old I would change it out. 777
