That set wore really evenly, ~1/32nds on the outer groove and ~2/32nds on the inner groove when I let them go. They were heat cycled out and it was the end of their 3rd season. I had asked anyways back then and shops around here quoted nothing less than $100 to flip the set which I think is a lot to pay for maybe an extra event or two on an ~$800 set of tires.
Sounds like you understand what I was trying to suggest.

Alignment, car setup, and driving style can make flipping the tires unnecessary.

I think your on the right track. SX2's as they are dirt cheap and consistent or RS4's if you want a bit more pace/grip vs the SX2's but you can't beat 500$ or cheaper for 245 wide SX2's
