Hi, I like sour things and love Granny Smiths apples, but occasionaly I don't find them sour enough for my taste. Are there any other types of apples with a simalar sour/sourer taste that are suitable for eating raw?

Try a Bramley----an English variety of apple that is more tart and sour than a Granny Smith. Or try a suncrisp or honeycrisp variety.
You could try almost any green-skinned apple you find: the reds tend to be sweeter than the green ones, the yellows more sweet than that and all the green skinned ones I've ever tried have been sour. I don't know all the apple names well (I only choose apples based on making applesauce and pies).
Of course, unripened apples are sour and are usually green, but they'll give you a stomach ache so stay away from those.
Have you tried crabapples? Those grown for eating are good , if you like sour/tart. But don't eat the ornamental ones people use as decor in their landscaping, unless you know that specific variety/tree has apples safe to eat.
See here to get a primer on varieties of apples and their flavors and uses:

Also, check orchards online or "pick your own" farms and farm markets locally. Some have their own proprietary hybrids or deal only in apples favored locally. If people around you like sour apples a lot too, it's possible a local farmer or orchard stocks that type specially.

Granny Smith Apples are NOT sour. They are not sweet either. They are mild and very taste.

Granny Smiths are tame. Why do people say they're sour?

Try to go to a local grower and have him pick the Grannys fresh for you they will be much more sour.
