We are embarking on our 2nd annual road trip to Disney World in a few weeks. We did this trip last year in our Odyssey and had a blast. We were thinking "Gee Vegas is hot in July, but it is just too dry, where can we go where it is hot and humid?"

But before we embark I was looking at some maintenance issues. The car has around 45k miles on it. My wife is concerned about the tires. They are the original Michelin LX4 tires. Since we keep the vehicle in a garage there are no signs of cracking and dry-rot, and the treads are 6/32" with no signs of uneven wear. That seems all good to me, My wife is more concerned because the tires are "old", is there something I am overlooking before I reassure my wife for the third time that the tires are fine?
Also the Oil life percentage is 80%. The oil and filter was changed a month ago with Mobil 1 synthetic, so I should be good for the road trip without an oil change in the middle right? It is about 4,500 to 5,000 miles round trip.
I changed the cabin and engine air filters last weekend. When I was putting the bolts onto the air intake box in the engine, one of the 4 bolts snapped. There are 3 remaining bolts holding the box on securely. Are these bolts replaceable? It seems like they have some special washer or something on them so the bolts stay connected to the upper part of the air intake box so you can't lose the bolts.
