you will notice a trend in tire sales that typical front tire sizes are in one range of pricing and rears are in another. a 255 19" falls in the rear category and can be more expensive than a 255 20"... its crazy how the pricing works sometimes.

I say do the S5's or the SP5's nobody has those yet and I have several pending orders on the SM8's... it will definitely set you apart!
from what i understand, its all about economies of scale. its not much more expensive to produce a 255/35/19 vs a 245/40/19 but less people get 255/35/19's so less are made, increasing the cost per unit.
