Personally I'd stick with the 21", there aren't many guy's running 19's any more.

No Steve it has a new tread patern and not avaliable in the sticky compound.
Doesn't look to bad.

Now I haven't tried too many front tyres on dirt track, but I run a Motoz X-Circuit 21" on my 05 YZ125 and it is brilliant. Particularly in the dry. Way way better than a Dunlop 752 I tried.  There's an interesting thread on tyres here on Aussie Dirt Track racing:
