Need winter tyres for my Ford Fiesta

I own a 2013 Ford Fiesta and live in the country, with narrow unsalted lanes near my home but no really steep hills. What wheels and tyres would you recommend for winter use?

I guess your wheels are 16-inch. 17-inch have 205/40 R17 tyres. 16-inch have 195/45 R16 tyres. 15-inch have 195/50 R15 tyres. 14-inch have 175/65 R14 tyres. Best to switch to 15-inch wheels and either fit with all weather tyres such as Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons, or dedicated cold weather tyres such as Vredestein Wintrac or Michelin Alpin 4s. Get a new set of wheels from www.tyremen.co.uk for about £350.
