Never mix & match different brands of tires, could create a dangerous situation for you. For either a staggered or square setup, the General Exclaim UHPs are a good choice. From the tire sizes you've specified, it seems you're running a staggered setup - do you actually have the wheels or are you simply considering going to 19" rims?

Great. The following are normal setups:

1) Staggered
8.5x19 wheel, 235/35-19 tires (front)
9.5x19 wheel, 265/35-19 tires (rear)

2) Square
8.5x19 wheel, 235/35-19 tires (front & rear)

Since you've decided to run #2, you can either choose the Goodyears or General Exclaim UHP tires without any problems.
