Are there any Xbox 360 controllers good in more realistic racing games?

I have two of the official white pack-in wireless kind, and they function beautifully on FPS games or various genres. However... Not most driving for me. If I use this specific model on so-called 'realistic' ones, I'll crash into walls constantly! Key phrase is "specific model". I'm fine with such games on the standard PS2 pad, SNES, Saturn, DS, so on.

I'll name various titles with driving I've been able to play well or not so well.

+: Full Auto, Saints Row, Just Cause.
-: PGR4, Sega Rally Revo, Forza 2. Also Fatal Inertia, but that's futuristic so I'm not really counting it.

Better to ask for suggestions than waste money buying something on impulse and have it not be ideal.

I haven't tried it, but I'd imagine MS' force-feedback wireless wheel is pretty sweet. But also pretty expensive.

Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity settings in those games until you're comfortable?

Didn't think of that. Some of the games might have an option to tighten handling so I don't smash into walls left and right every few seconds. Although why this issue is particular to just Xbox 360, only me, and to a certain genre, doesn't make sense. I'lll try the settings settings in-game if there are any.
