Need help buying tires

My rear tires are almost gone and i need to buy a new set of tires. Any recommendations? I previously used toyos and i wanted to use falkens 452 but the person selling the tires says they don;t make it for the OEM 19 inch wheels. So if i wanted to go with the falken tires which i know some people do what size should i buy for the rears? Also is there another tire that might be a good choice for performance and have a good thread life. thanks

oem's are 225/40F 245/40R and they most certainly do make the FK452's in that size, i installed 2 sets in that size today.

I really dislike Falken tires, when pushed they'll let you down or in my case it was sideways. The Yoko S-Drives are good tires but they won't last. The only tire I'll put on my G is Michelin PS2s, I have total confidence they won't let me down....ever! There's 2 areas I refuse to use anything but the best brakes and tires, my life might depend on it! When buying tires always be aware of the ratings....wear ratings should be no less than 220 and not more than 280!
