Default Fronts for full spikes

We race, here in Greece, on an old Warehouse with polished cement. I am having trouble finding traction with my B4.1 so i am trying some Schumacher full spikes on the rear.
What type of tires am i supposed to pair them up front? Will ribbed tires work? Cuz i found that softening the rear or adding some toe in to stop the car from sliding on power kills steering dramaticaly. So ribbed tires, especially JConcepts groovy are really good. But with full spikes?

It's quite possible to mount 4wd front full spikes on 2wd front rims. The tyre sidewalls just bulge out a bit.

Second choice would probably be 2wd front mini spikes.

The problem is that i cannot find any Schumachers here in Greece. I ordered them and they need 4-5 working days to arrive here. So i am trying to do anything i can with my current options that is JC,Pro-line,Losi.
