18 and 19 have a similar outside diameter. Difference is inside diameter of course(18 vs 19). Therefore 18 has a taller sidewall. I've seen various reasons mentioned before. 18 gives better ride, less chance of pinch flats. 19 weighs a bit less, 19 has less tire roll when cornering. Maybe more reasons.
