Maybe get a second set of wheels and try to mount these tires for when it becomes a display piece, for good. Mount a fresh set of whatever tire looks the most vintage on a second set of wheels for occasional rides. That's what I do.
Nobody looks at the tires anyway, they look at the bike. And almost nobody knows enough about it to criticize the tire choice.
Pop a tire in a corner and that tube won't last five feet. I've literally pressed tire removal tools through a sidewall trying to unseat a bead. In a tire that had never been run and was less than 20 years old. Maybe you'll have better luck...
