I can't them in the pic..detail isn't good enough. But if they're stockies, stick w/ the same measurements, but I don't recommend the stock Michelins. I think there is a thread out there about running a different size tire and haven't certain benefits...i'll see if i can find it

remember, that's only for the stock set up. I can't tell what rims you have but it looks like they could be the stock wheels

With the stock type s 245/45-17 or 245/40-17 or 255/40-17

245/45 extreme comfort with good handling
245/40 less comfort with extreme handling
255/40 extreme comfort with extreme handling
