Greg D from PFE runs these all the way around on his LS1 3rd gen for both street and road course duty. He has said he's happy with them and that they are excellent in the wet. Alot of autocross and road race guys like these. I think they would be a good front tire and they look cool as hell.
I run a Falken Azenis RT-615 as a front tire on the street and like them alot. Really cool tread pattern too. Softer than your average street tire but not too soft. They have a treadwear rating of 200 I believe. And before that I ran nitto 555r-II's up front, very soft and grippy, treadwear 100, dragradial compound but stiff sidewall.
