Default Kumho ecsta mx gone?

So based on my search both on here & on tire suppliers websites it appears the MX is on it's way out & is already seemingly gone in the 295-35-18 size. Looks like this has been the case for awhile now & I'm just catching up to the news. Problem is I really liked that tire & would like to get another set. So since that is no longer a reality what would be a very comparable tire in every aspect: price, performance, road noise etc...? The worst part is my fronts are worn out (neg camber) but the rears are still good for a little while longer. I wanted to get new fronts which it looks like I still can 265-35-18 but of course won't be able to get matching rears when they wear out on the back. Any ideas on a comparable tire to the MX. I mainly use the car for dry weather summer drives with lots of spirited driving but no tracks, roadcourses or competition racing. My dad & I both are in the market for non runflat tires & were both going towards the MX & were both discouraged when we realized we can't get them. He has the same driving type as I do: spirited driving w/ no track use.
Dad's car: 04 coupe (stock sizes)
My car: 01 zo6 ( aftermarket wheels) Fr. 265-35-18 Rear 295-35-18
Thanks for the input
Chad
