yeah, 42x16 is 69.2 Gear Inches, with 8 skid patches, and 52x19 is 72.2 GI's with 19 skid patches. Its slightly higher, compared to your current gear, its nothing.
Your current gear i ran for a while. its pretty damn high for the street. for comparison, its 85.7 GI's.
You can gear down a little more, it will make it easier to trick, but you will sacrifice skid patches. 52x20 would give you 68.6 GI's and 5 skid patches, 10 if your ambidextrous. You wont notice too much of a difference between a few GI's.
Id go 52x19.
