5-1/2 year old tires should not be a problem by itself. The cracking you are seeing may be however. Without seeing it I would say it's weather cracking from sitting in hot sun. Did the car sit for a long time before you bought it? The tires may be flat-spotted, causing the out of round you refer to. I would replace those tires.
No reason to stay with Michelin unless that's your brand of choice. Do stay with a quality tire; afterall, that's the only thing between you and the road! What type of driving do you do? If you are the boy-racer type who likes to fly around highway exit ramps and you live in a warm climate you can go for hi-po tires. If you live in a multi-season area like me an all-season tire may be for you.
I run 205/60/15 Cooper CS4 Touring tires on my 92 900T. It's a 70000 mile all-season touring tire. I've run Coopers on all the Saabs I've owned and have had excellent experience with them.
Check you local papers for sales too. It's a buyer's world out there now.
Good luck!
