If you are going to sell it privately, you will probably want to have the vehicle in as good a shape as you can get it in (to increase it's appeal to a potential buyer); that includes having good tires.
 
If you plan to trade it in, I would leave the old tires on... they won't affect your trade value much to make it worth your expense of buying new tires.

Well... how much tread do the tires have left on them? Unless, they are noticeable worn, I'd just keep them.
 
On the other hand, you've got a low mileage Odyssey. If everything else is in really good condition, I'd spring for new tires.

When the tread on the factory tires is still in the "SAFE" depth, sell it as is because the buyer may want to install the tire of HIS choice.
 
Because you NEVER get a 2nd chance of a First impression. Have your Honda professionally detailed & that process includes making the SAFE factory tires look attractive.

Very good idea. Nothing like a good detail to make the car look irresistible.
