Need performance tire for C32

I have the 18 AMG V rims(front225/40/18, rear255/35/18) with S-03 tire. I'd like to upgrade to higher performance tire like Yoko Advan A048, Dunlop D02G, Yoko Advan AD07... but none of them have my size. Is there any other choice out there?

those are the same performance catagory wit the S-03. Advan A048 AD07 are more like street legal race tires.

S-03 is way too slippery, already learnt it the hard way. The AD-07 felt 20-30% stickier than S-03, yet the A048 and DZ02G felt 30% stickier than the AD-07, but they don't have 255/35/18.

The new Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 might be my only choice, but it is only as good as AD-07. Here's a link.

The DZ02G on my Evo7 is still 70% new after 4 months. Here's a link.
