You've already made up your mind, but here's another vote for keeping them.
Have you seen what period Good Year Polyglas tires go for with respect to a proper '69-'70 Boss 302 or 429? It boggles the mind. Although more people are preserving these new cars for the future like virtually nobody did back then, I still think it's worth doing.
I recently added a vintage motorcycle to my stable that hadn't been run or tagged since 1981 that had the proper make and model tires that were OEM equipment on it (long since obsolete). They're hard as a rock, but the outward appearance is near new. Since fully detailing the bike and returning it to full operating condition I plan to put new rubber on it to safely use it occasionally, but you can bet I will be bagging those old tires in the event I decide to let the next collector enjoy it.
