I made some calls and a local shop I've used for my other cars came up with the best price of $224 ea with balance and mount.
Leading evidence: 'Use other cars came up' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'most you want' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 245's this summer' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
245's are probably the most you want to go and even then you might have rubbing depending on offset/width and your suspension setup.

Next set I'll opt to save some money and switch off the PS2's.

Suggestion
But as Ralph stated above, lots of opinions and it is all vehicle use dependant IMO.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I need new front tires (down to the bars now). I made some calls and a local shop I've used for my other cars came up with the best price of $224 ea with balance and mount.
Any feedback is appreciated...thanks!

That is a good price. If Gator's number is accurate, the final TR price would be around $240-250 each with shipping, mounting and balancing, and disposal at a decent installer.
What other tires would you suggest?
PO put two new rears on right before I bought the car (they have about 50 miles on them), but for next round....
Thanks!
Tire opinions abound on Rennlist. In my experience there are lots of good options... Sumitomo HTRZIIIs are a good low-cost alternative, Continental DWs are solid (I run them), and there are many others that will work just fine. But over the years though it has been hard to beat Michelins - in almost any usage from passenger to SUV to performance. If you can afford them you will rarely go wrong.
My 996 is a combo street/DE car and I have had great success with Falken's and Khumos. Both are very affordable and great in the wet on the street. But as Ralph stated above, lots of opinions and it is all vehicle use dependant IMO.
Hankook Ventus v12 if you want good all around performance; Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec if you want essentially an r-comp. The $ premium for PS2 is way too much given the marginal performance. Both of the the tires i mentioned outperform ps2 dry.
Another question I had (I didn't get around to searching it). Can I take the 255/40 rears have them remounted as fronts and put something wider in the rear?
245's are probably the most you want to go and even then you might have rubbing depending on offset/width and your suspension setup. I'll be running 245's this summer.
255's will def not work.
That's somewhat of a loaded question since there are quite a bit of variables(camber, rim specs, suspension, etc). 295 is a safe all around size for a narrow body. I have seen 305's and IIRC someone doing 315's with some work.
