Sidewall cracking should be reason enough to get new tires even without the chance of failing inspection if you don't. How many miles on your car?
FWIW, these days I'm splitting the miles on my '08 up between set #3 and set #4 with about 50,000 miles on the car. Set #3 sees some road course track time (as did set #2 until I wore them out). Set #4 has only seen street miles so far. I quit using the OE tires (set #1) before they were half worn - they were really that bad in the wet. 9 out of the last 10 sets of replacement tires I've bought for any of our cars (this being over the last 15 or 20 years) have come from the top 2 or 3 in Tire Rack's 'Max Performance Summer' or 'UHP all-Season' category. Bridgestones, Goodyears, and Michelins.
