Tire width questions

I'm new to this site and I have a question. I have two tires that are exactly the same with the exception of the width. One tire is 234/35r19 and the other is 245/35r19. The other two tires are both 235/35r19's. The first two tires I mentioned are brand new Falken Azenis. Am I safe toe drive those up front? Will it be bad for my transmission, and will it be safe to drive on? I can roll them I. The rear is its bad for the tranny but the tread is better and if I can I'd like them in front. Any info is appreciated. I'm not even sure if this is where I post a question lol.

on the front you want two of the same size tires with even wear from side to side, anything other than that is cycling your differential even when your driving straight and that leads to alot of wear and tear, not to mention pulling/alignment issues.

the rear it doesnt mater other than maybe giving you a slight dogleg/uneven tracking
also keep in mind a change in the tire rollout might also end up giving you false abs triggers on stops when turning
 
235/35/19s are 25.4" tall
245/35/19s are 25.8" tall

Both of those are about an inch to an inch plus inches too short. The size you want is 245/40/19 which come in at the stock height of 26.7" tall.

As mentioned having 2 different size tires on front is hard on your transmission. It can also cause ABS to disable due to different circumference whether the different one is on front or back.
