Thanks for both of your quick responses. I'm currently running on Michelin pilot super sports. 225/40-ZR18. Is that the recommended tire? How much should I expect to spend for the two front tires? trying to find someone open now that has this size.

I would want the same 4 kind of tires. Costco and Sam's carry the MPSS which is a very good tire. If you absolutely have to drive it tomorrow then you are kind of stuck. If you can take another car maybe you could buy just one MPSS from tire rack and havecthem shave it to the tread depth of your other front.

You probably would be ok if you got another brand of max perf summer tires on the front but I like all 4 the same.

4 new Sumitomo HTR Z III would probably be cheaper than 1 or 2 new MPSS and I a good tire, it is my current street tire.

Urgent tire issue! is right, anytime you see threads on a tire it needs to be replaced.
I wouldn't drive that tire over 40mph any further than you have to. If you can't get a MPSS in time for your trip buy the closest match in the proper size.
