Choosing new tire size??

My past post about at uneven tire wear and everyone told me to get new tires...so here i am aboutt o buy new rear tires only. I read alot and everyone loves the Falken 452's. I was wondering for the g35 coupe w/ 19 inch rim what is a good size to buy? stick to stock size 245/40/19? my car is lowered right now so the tires are tucked in...i think its a 2 inch drop from factory. Should i go any wider keep it the same any input..? any other tires you recommend and anywhere you recommend buying it from? Thanks for the help guys

which one is better
TOYO T1R's?
or Falken 452's or are they the same....Toyo seems to be more pricey worth it or no?
i use this car to commute so yea..

BTW only my rear is worn out so is changing the rear tires only going to be ok?

Only changing the rears is not going to be a problem. I love my Falken FK 452s...I'm running 255 40 19s in the rear with no problems. There perfect for daily driving and the best thing I like about them is they don't have the annoying road noise.

^^^^ 275 is not safe at all on a 8.5 rim... its too wide for the rim...

go with Falken... i am very disappointed with my Toyo T1R's

i have 245/40/19 front and 255/40/19 rear on my stock 19's and its great

stock sizes are 225/40/19 front 245/40/19 rear

The side walls are weak, and they don’t stick to the road that well at first, they wear too fast and the road noise when they wear is horrible...

dont get the OEM sizes...
