Help...buddy took a chunk of sidewall out

So buddy curbed my right side. Slight rash on front. Ding/rash on rear. Polished Brombacher Works Stepped lip 19" wheels

Right rear tire also split sidewall. So he buying new rears ( I assume I should match side for wear).

Question: I bought car with PZero Russo fronts 235/35/19 and Michelin PS2 275/30/19 on rears. Of course the fronts are N1 but Mich rears are not.

Tire guys are saying I should go 275/45/19 Russo on rears to match. From what I have read the Russo is not as nice as the PS2. I was planning on matching PS2 to front when they needed it.

Should I go to the 290/30/19 PS2? Car is a 99 C2 and I think that is too much rubber for it.

Or should I stick with non N1 PS2 like I have?

Thanks,

Pirelli makes a great tire, however The Michelin PS2 is the best. Good luck!
