what is the widest tire that I get for 19" wheels for my car. I did a search and didnt find much. I see alot of people are running 245/35/19 for the front and 275/35/19 for the rear. Is that correct?

Yes that is the tire size of the Contis on my 172s that came with the car. To me, they are wide enough to get the job done. They have tremendous grip.
