2001 E55 w/30K miles - New tires now?

Service manager at Fletcher Jones in Las Vegas suggested that I consider new tires for my 2001 E55. Tread is still quite good, but still there is some cracking on the sidewalls. Not much, however. I have only 30,000 miles on car and it's usually garaged. However, being in Las Vegas, I suppose the heat still wears out the rubber sooner, I suppose.

Anyways, I'll probably get new tires. Any W210 model E55 owners have any recommendations? How about the Tire Rack sponsor? Are they giving us a good rate?

I drive the car conservatively, but still require high performance in cornering (stiff sidewall?), but also low noise level on highway.

Thanks
