305/35/19 in the rears:

Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 97.36 MPH. Are you OK with this?

305/30 is the tire you would want, before you order. What width wheel do you have? What offset is your wheel?

Rear tire circumference is less than 1 percent greater than front tire circumference. VDC may not like this.

305/30 is fine, then change the front to a 275/30 later.

You will want to go wider than 255 in front, at least 265 with a 305 rear. 275 front would seem to make more sense.
