But this may throw off the difference calculations if you are comparing the front tires to the rear tires if you have an Xdrive.

Those sizes would be okay for an xDrive car as they're inside the normal 1% rule.
OP, I'd recommend the Continental ExtremeContact Sport. They'll have better treadwear than the Michleins and performance is comparable, based on what feedback I've gotten from customers--all for a couple hundred $$$ less.
If she's not the spirited driving type, maybe consider an all season tire. If she can run the stock 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 specs, the ExtremeContact DWS 06 will last a good while and performs very well in all conditions.
