Any tire that lasts 60,000 mi won't be sticky if you like driving hard.
Unfortunately, sticky rubber wears fast.

You'd be better off going the middle route and getting a nice set of Falken 115s or Michelin Pilot Sports. If you need winter rubber then get the A/S versions.

With your driving style, these may last you 25-30,000mi but you will enjoy them much more and you'll have safer handling for your fast starts and sharp turns.
