Default Tire Size (new owner)

I just purchased this car with 17 inch wheels. It's been sitting for 16 years and needs new tires. What size you Y'all running?

it has 225/55/17 in the front and 255/50/17 in the rear./ since they are dry rotted and oddball sizes, I wanted to see what other people are running.
