Can you post pics?
IMO buy the tires for driving it vs. reselling it. As long as the tires are not total crap, most prospects will overlook it. You are right to throw the current tires as far as possible from your car.
If you are still running the standard wheel covers, matching factory in the look, but finding a radial for the ride, control and safety is the way to go. From their earliest days, GM designers (es. Pontiac) obsessed over the look of wheel and tire combinations. That's why Pontiac always seemed to have the coolest and best choices.
I wouldn't do a bias tire on anything other than a vintage, open-wheel hot rod, where weight and power are both low.
FWIW, nothing screams, "I just got tired of thinking about it" quite like white letter tires and factory wheel covers. It never looks right or complete.
