Sounds like there's nothing for it but to bite the bullet and get some new tires. There's lots of threads here on tire selection that will give you many happy hours of reading, the end result will be a whole new level of confusion.

I'll start, not with what I'm running because it wouldn't apply in this case, but with what I've decided to get next spring based on those many hours of happy reading.

Hankook Ventus V12 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear

Supposed to be quiet and sticky and not brutally expensive. I'll find out about the longevity.

Right now I am running Sumitomo HTR-Z III in the stock 17" sizes and have been very happy with them. I am thinking of going to the V12 with the 225/45 in the front; I have heard a lot of good things about them. I may stay with the Sumitomo too I have never experienced what you describe in my car (2000 S)
