opinions of 245/40R19 all the way around? RE-71R

Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R Costs of this 19 inch performance tire seem to be around what I would be getting for similar performance for 18inchers. So, I'm looking at the possibility of this all the way around. Thoughts?

If you're planning on tracking your car often, then those would be a good choice. Will have pretty quick wear for a daily driver, if you're wanting the best bang for the buck the Max Summer Hankook Ventus w/ the $100 rebate would come out to $143 per tire. But if you want to go up a notch to Extreme Summers those would fit the bill, also Kumho Ecsta V720 would be worth a look.

With about 3-4k highway miles and two full track days I have about 30-40% tread left on my RE71Rs

Probably the closest to a track tire for the street you can get. Exceptionally great summer tire you can auto-x on the weekends.
