Default recommend some front tires (275/35/18)

I'm going to be running 295/35/18 GSD-3s in the rear (got in on that killer price at Tire Rack). I'd like to have the same for the fronts, but they're a little pricey for me. I'm leaning towards some Nitto NT-05s though.

Factors to consider:

-I do not take it to the strip or autocross it
-No driving in the rain
-Would like to spend around $200/tire
-Maybe 3-4k miles per year will be put on them

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

well those nt05's will wear out quicker than the gy's and the two tires look way different from one another and i dont like miss matched tires.
i did see some gsd3's cheap on ebay so try there and if not since you dont race it go with some nexen n3000's they have a simular thread and are way cheaper than the nittos.
i have seen the nt05's in person and to me they are an ugly tire the groves are huge and makes the tire look wierd.
