they grip hard and dont let go on dry

I see lots of people recommending things like BF G-Force Sports and such based on recommendations from their local tire dealers and relaying that the tires "grip well." Although tires like these are really good by most comparisons, the stock Advans are between street tires and R-compound, and the list of comparable tires is very short, and inexpensive ones even shorter than that. I believe the OP's question is too vague to answer properly.
