245/35/19 Front and 255/40/19 Rear: Tires pretty bald

So. I've noticed that I've been peeling out lately, for no apparent reason. By that, I mean I haven't been going WOT or dropping the pedal. Then I looked at my tires this week and noticed that they're really smooth. As a matter of fact, almost smoother than nascar tires.

So here's my question: will this setup fit my standard OEM 19 rims fine? And is this a good deal?

Falken 452's
245/35/19 Front

255/40/19 Rear

total shipped to SoCal is 700.

btw, standard OEM Potenza RE050's 19s are
225/40/19 front
245/40/19 rear

I'm also getting them mounted/balanced at a local pepboys for 20/tire. They do not have the Hunter balance machine, but they have the Cory? balance machine.

So it'll be about 800 total.

If anyone has a better deal for for the SoCal area, San Bernardino/Riverside county, please chime in!

I believe those sizes would be a bit out of spec - but probably alright. I am running 245/35 on the front and 265/35 on the rear stock 19's. It sounds like a good deal but I would search around and see what others are running before you throw those on.

that setup sounds fine to me, the fronts are slightly smaller than stock, and the rears are slightly bigger, but overall are close enough to stock diameter. It is my recommended setup for OEM 19's

You might want to call some tires shops and get their opinion(s) just for piece of mind.

PM Dru (Meechin)....he hooked me up with tires and mount/balance about a month ago. I'm not sure where in socal you are, but he's in Baldwin Park. Have not heard or seen anything but positive feedback about him and Street Image.

I have this setup on oem 19s. Just fyi, although 255s fit fine on the rears, I think they may actually be a little too wide for the tire. I have fk452s that are about 1 year old, the outside tread is beefy but the inside line of the rears is worn down almost to replacement now. Just a heads up I think the wider 255 on a 8.5in rim may have attributed to my problem.
