Best winter tyres for Audi A6 Avant?

I bought a set of spare wheels and fitted them with winter tyres. My local tyre shop suggested Yokohama W - Drive 225/50 R17 winter tyres for my Audi A6 Avant. As expected, I have been delighted with the transformation in grip, braking etc over winter months.

It's now time to replace the tyres and I'm wondering if there are there any tyres you'd recommend over another?
