E36 M3: Tires

Ok, not to dredge up some HUGE controversy :-?

I'm about to put new wheels and tires on my car...

The wheels are from an M3 CSL, the forged 5-spokes (Thanks Joe U.!!)

And I'm trying to decide on tires .. and SIZES too...

If I remember correctly, the CSL came with the same 235/40R17 MXX3's as
the "normal" M3 .. even on the 8.5Jx17 rear wheels ..

But NOW, BMW is using 225/45ZR17 on the front and 245/40ZR17 on the rear

Someone who knows .. enlighten me :)

Also, let's talk tires .. some of the ones I'm looking at are:

Michelin MXX3 (now that the price is somewhat better)
Yoko AVS-I
Yoko A032R  (Yeah, I know .. track tire .. BUT .. I might run them on the street)
Falken

Any others that you M3 drivers have tried and LIKED ..

I am looking for SERIOUS Dry traction, without being lethal in the wet ..

TIA,

Jim C.
