Need new front tire recommendations Maybe Nitto NT NeoGen ZR
Im looking for new front tires. (yeah my front tires are bald before my rears, i know, kinda wierd for a mustang ) im wondering if you guys have ever had these, if not what FRONT tires do you recommend? I am very aggressive in the corners and need something that will hold at high speed, high G turns

That appears to be a fine tire, but if you are that aggressive in the corners, you may want to consider an R comp. More expensive and wears faster, but MAN can you get some grip from them babies.
Will you be driving these tires year round? If so, what are the extremes of weather in your area?
What tires are you running currently and were you happy with their performance/grip prior to wearing out?
What size are your wheels? (front and back please)
I like to see the same tires at all four corners of a car. The exceptions are almost always for those that run aggressive in straight line-only. The last thing I will add is the following line, of which I am somewhat famous 'round these parts:
Tires should be chosen by the needs of the driver, yet chosen by the budget..... what are they?

Jazzer-
im looking to spend around $300-350 for both so these ones are right around there.
i only drive it in the summer never sees snow and will need to manage in the rain.
I do some autocross but mostly is a daily driver around town. i just really like to take corners aggressively (when safe of course). I prefer twisties and wont be dragging the car at all. I dont want the tire to push in the turns as much but i also dont want R comp.
Right now im running 245/40/18 Nexen tires, they came with the rims. they were decent but i feel there is better out there.
The rim sizes are 18x9 front and 18x10 rear.
Dub's - i looked for those but they were a little pricey where did you find your deal
