Nice job of bringing her back to life. I personally am a big fan of Michelin. I put the summer Michelin Pilot tires on mine, stored more months than driven. In Oregon you probably want their all season tires.
Any tire you buy will give a better ride. If dated 2003 they are hard as a rock. Make sure to search threads on TPMS. Many problems with getting them to sync if not done properly. Easier if all sensor batteries are working.
There is always the option of removing wire in dome light to the TPMS dash warning light. Tons of info on this site just takes time to find what your looking for.
