You could also try a stickier 275. If you drive only in warm weather, maybe an RA1. If you drive only in warm, dry weather, maybe an R888. Not sure if these come in 19s but they may be alternative sticky tire choices or street tires that are higher performance than what you have now.
Rear tires last about 3-4 years for me since my car spends 4 or 5 months on winter tires every year. I drive in all weather and live in Wisconsin so R888s are not an option. I currently run OEM size Potenza S04s and think the PS4S would be perfect for my needs.
