Default Will I be ok with this tire offset? F 245/40/18 R 295/30/19

I'm sorry, I know I can do 10 hours of searching to find the answer but I needed to know quick. Please let me know if I am within tolerance with this tire combination.
Front Good Year Eagle F1 245/40/18
Rear Michelin SS 295/30/19
Thank you in advance.

I have Michelin , the A/S RF. the Front tire is the 245/40/18 and the rear is 285/30/19. mine is a base model with /z51 option. So I'm thinking one size up is ok .There is a calculation for sizing and with all I have read I should know it.How about a set of Forged Performance Alloys with Hankooks mounted for less than $1k. The rear is 305 though

295/30s are small. Go with the 295/35-19. It will work without issue. It will look better and it won't lose forward traction like the smaller ones you were asking about.

Agree. I run 255/40 and 295/35 without issue.

It's not a good idea to have 2 different brand of tires on car.
