Surprised Avons are better than Conti Contact 3 in the wet - they always come top of all the tyre tests for wet weather performance!
215/45/17 is the one for you bud.

This is always going to be a recommendation on tyre make to one's own personnel preference, however you really need to be looking at your budget, and if it can stretch to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. They will give you the most secure driving experience coupled to a very quite ride. May I suggest that prior to or as soon as, you have your car checked on a computerised 4 wheel alignment, this made so much difference in my cars handling characteristics, and eradicated under steer completely.

I agree with what they say there, the avons on my s70 would just cut through standing water no problems. The contisports are ok but don't give the same level of confidence in the wet.
But they are fantastic in the dry.
