Will probably go the OE spec: 225/40/19 + 255/35/19.

Do you also run 19" with recommended specs?
8" Recommended Specs. MIN.215 - IDEAL.225/235 - MAX.255.

My Original SQ.17x7.5 with RF 225/50/17, and 34 Offset.
NOW 18"x7.5 F and 35 Offset c/w 225/45/18 Non RF PSS. REAR is 9" and 40 Offset c/w 255/40/18 PSS.
Had to settle for 7.5" Front because of the wheels I wanted. Next is Drop on H&R Springs, maybe Coilovers and Next Tyre Change will probably be 235F and 265R.

I live in Country Area and like you, Roads are Bad that's why I went with 18", which gave me no lower than 40 Profile. I was even going 19's but ones I liked, only 18 or 20. SO enjoy your 19's and with 40 Profile up front should be enough to take most hits, unless you drive most of the time at Warp Speed Haha.

Your 225/40/19 F and 255/35/19 R is a good safe choice BUT also consider 235F with 265R Combo depending on your offsets.

Just an Extra on sizing - I spoke with VMR and a 8.5"F, 35 Offset c/w 235's and 9.5"R,33 Offset c/w 265's with being slightly lowered also would suit/fit my X1. Just indicating as a Reference Only.
I was going to get these IF i could sell the 4x 18x7.5 i got from USA but No Takers SO i got 2x 18x9 for the back. Obviously now have 2x7.5"as Spares.
Sorry for long reply but everything helps.
