Tires starting to crack

2013 Mazda 3 iSport Automatic SkyActive
My service place told me they won't rotate my tires since they are starting to crack. They are 7 years old
My car is a 2013 Mazda 3 iSport Sedan and mainly looking for a smoother ride although I know it will never be good, but I don't want mush.
I currently have Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus but I don't see this model listed on Discount Tire anymore.
They do have Continental ContiPro Contact for $138, Control Contact Tour A/S for $154 and ProContact RX for $120, plus a few others but they are more expensive.
They are all 205/55 R16 91H like the ones I have now.
I would switch to another brand if they are as good and less expensive. The cost out the door is about $700 which sucks to have to spend on a 13 yr old car (only 50,000 miles).
Any recommendations appreciated.
 
new tires wont do much for comfort. you should check your cold tire pressures and report back.

how bad is the cracking? post a pic. how much tread remaining?
