Tires size, how much flexibility do I have?
The original car's owner replaced the stock rims with 19" ones (see attached pic).
The tires came with the car are 255/45/19. I replaced them with Michelins same size.
Now I need to replace them again but the same size isn't available. The available sizes are 245/45/19 and 255/40/19 (which is very thin for our imperfect streets which are 100 times worse than NYC's).
Will 245/45/19 fit?
What determines the size of the tires?
In other words, how much flexibility do I have in terms of tires size?

What should I expect to gain and lose by reducing the width of the tires?
And how do I know the perfect size of tires for my rims?
