Winter tyres for my Nissan Note

I have been searching for a set of winter tyres for my Nissan Note. The tyre size is 185/55 R16 (only 4 studs). There seems to be little choice. Could I use a more popular size without compromising the speedometer? If so what do you recommend?

The other size on the Note is 185/65 R15. Better to buy a separate set of 15" wheels and put your cold weather tyres on them. The same seems to apply to the Honda Jazz.
