I put a 21" (with a 120 tire) on my 2009 for 25,000 miles.
My 2012 came with a 19" (with a 130 tire). That I've put 3,000 miles on so far.
I prefer the 19's handling over the 21".

I had the same choice about the front and I am very glad I went with the 21" I noticed slight handling differences at lower speeds. How wet just like the apes, after a few trips around the block I was use to it. Now I can't tell the difference on how it use to handle

This is what I needed to know the handling difference between two sizes, thanks....
