The cars are very robust. As others have said, I would probably get new tires. For me, it's not age, it's that the OEM tires are terrible.
Good luck!

Look closely at all the rubber....Check the radiator support forward under the front bumper cover and look at the thin strip under the doors carefully for scrapes or damage. That is the part under the doors between the wheels. Look at the part that goes under the car the whole length of it. (that is very important part as it is non removable for all practical purposes though in some instances they are repaired without issue.)
Good luck and enjoy.
