I wouldn't trust the pulleys or tensioner to go another 30k..
My own very brief V6 experience last summer with a flip car that was right at 60k on the timing belt was: while I was having the belt done, the tensioner and pulleys were on the verge of failure, and the water pump was starting to leak. I had all of it done while they were in there.
Don't chance it, with the unknown unknowns. Yes, you might get warning signs/sounds, but odds are you'll be miles from home, too. Get it all done now, and you'll know what you have.
