Need help to chose tires brand and size

Hi, I have to buy new summer tires. However, I don't know which size to take. Since I'm not running the OEM wheels 19x8.5 front and 19x9 rear, I don't know if I should stick with the OEM tire size 225/45/19 front 245/40/19 rear. The size of my wheels are 19x8.5 front and rear. Should I go with 225/45 everywhere, 245/40 everywhere, OEM size or a different tire spec?

My second question is the brand. I looked a lot of reviews on mutliple brand and my choices are: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, Continental Pure Contact, Yokohama Avid Envigor, and Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport. Which one do you guys recommand and if you have or had one of those tiers, can you tell me how good or bad they are?

Thank you for your suggestion and your help.

245/40/19 all around will work well and should have the best selection of tires.
Here's tireracks listing for that size in UHP and Max performance Summers~
https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...earDiameter=17

There's a couple others that aren't on your list or tirerack you might look at, Nitto NT555 G2, and Toyo Proxes T1Sport.
