from a design point and generally speaking, taller tires would have a longer center contact shape that would help with forward traction.

not that its a huge difference but tire diameter also affects final drive gear ratio. can't really say if its a pro or con for this, just depends on the intended goal.

265/40R19 with a 3.69 rear gives you a new ratio of 3.59 from plug-&-chug calculator ( https://tiresize.com/gear-ratio-calculator ). not really any difference that changes anything but is an affect of using different tire diameter.

go for it if you need a taller tire for clearance or if you just like the look. and as Rusty mentioned, make sure it matches the front to be within 3%.
