Thanx for everyone's suggestions! 
Any comments about the Bridgestone Potenza RE050?
Me know 19" ain't cheap - but me fell deeply in love with the
R-I-M-S. Guess me will be one happy prisoner, eh!

NB what are you looking for.
Michellin PS2 are pricey stuff but it is the best all rounder.
If you looking for wet grip then Goodyear as suggested above is the thing. They are not too bad in the dry either.
Toyo T1-R is good value but poor in the wet.
That is my input so far.

Tyres/rubber have me stumped 
Like most locals, me want me cake & eat it too...
Good/great grip in both dry & wet, comfy ride & low noise (or comparable to the stock rubber). Not too concerned about price (alhough 19" will hurt as I've found
) cos I've never changed rubber since Aug 2003, and me rubber not too worn yet (assuming of course that the wear rate for 19" is similar to that of me 16" - slow 
)I don't track, although I do enjoy the occasional 'spirited' drive
Any other suggestions apart from Michellin? Are the Bridgestone Potenza RE050 good? Haven;t had a chance to see any threads yet... not that I would know much
Thanx,Naughty Boy (Andrew)

Hopefully the 19" rubber lasts as long as me 16" - cos otherwise me lady is gonna have fits!

RE050 is on most fast sedan; and not sure the difference of that cf with 040s.
You may want to have something good in the dry and last. Sound like you are such a person that maynot drive fast in the rain
Something close are Goodyear Eagle F1; Bridgestone S03s; and Dunlop Sport Maxx.
If money is not a problem, then stay away from the Toyos.
Pirelli and Contis are useless... stay away from them too.
I cannot recommend Michellin PS2 any higher. It will last longer than your car. ... I have the PS2 for 10000km and it does not seem to wear an single mm. Mind you, I have my Bridgestone RE55S to chew up on the track
