Default HELP: Looking for some sticky tires

The S02's were amazing when they were on my car back in March, I've since upgraded to volk gtc's and nitto nt555's and they are nowhere as responsive as the S02's, doe's anyone know if any tire is as sticky as the S02's, I remember them making my head snap when I moved the steering wheel even the slightest to the left or right while driving.

Please help, looking for better handling tires, straight performance.

The NT555 are not that great of a tire. As S2Thizzle mentioned, the Potenza RE 01-R is a great tire, as well as Azenis, although I'm not a big fan of that tire.

Best bang for the buck are the Falken's.

Most expensive, but grippiest, are the Advan A048's (more or less a track tire really, not so good life span on the street if you drive fairly regularly). The Neova's I'm not sure would be much better than the Bridgestones but I'd be willing to bet they're a good deal more expensive.

I'd personally go for the Bridgestone's. They're probably a bit more $$$ than the Falkens, but should have better grip. I got to drive a friends ITR at an autocross with the RE-01R tires on and they were incredible.
