sticky stock size FD tires?

Finally got my car tuned and running good.

However I have no traction in 1st or 2nd gear with my shitty kumho ecsta supras in back.

What would be a good tire that's the stock FD size that won't absolutely break the bank?

I went tonight from a complete stop, and from a 10-15 mph roll in 1st gear and never got traction till about 60 mph.

@ 15-17 psi I should be making ~400 rwhp. 1st time I bogged, then started wheel spin. And the 2nd time from a roll I just spun my tires from 3500 rpms in 1st till almost the end of 2nd gear.

What good is all the power if I can't put it to the ground?

I've heard awesome things about the s03's, any other recommended tires?

Bang for buck would be the Bridgestone S03. I can check price for you tommorrow if you like. PM me.
