With these sizes, you will not be running a tire that is either too narrow or too wide for the wheels. Also, these sizes will not cause any issues with your Traction Control or ABS. The front tire is an overall diameter of 26" and the rear is an overall diameter of 26.9". Also - the revolutions per mile - front=799 rear=744 (means the back tires are spinning slower than the fronts due to the taller tire) maintain the stagger that the systems are expecting to see.
I looked up the Michelin Pilot PS2, because that's the tire I run and recommend. It's a great non-runflat, and gives great dry and good wet traction. The single caveat is - it is not a winter tire. Hope that helps.

Excellent recommendation, Rands (Blacksedan87)! 
Moreover, the specific tire sizes Rands has suggested above in his helpful, and, very informative response also offers you a reasonable tire selection from which to choose from that includes, not only, Michelin PS2's, which, BTW, is an excellent tire choice, BUT, also Goodyear, Nitto, and, Falken, etc. tires. Unfortunately, there are certain tire size options that are more restrictive and limiting in tire brand-model availability. Luckily, for you, this is not the case. Good Luck to You!
