If you plan to use your car on isolated rural roads during the winter months then you will need a good quality set of all-season tyres. All-season tyres use a different compound of rubber that uses more silica, which makes them softer and better at generating heat (and grip) in low temperatures. They also use deeper tread grooves, which reduces the risk of aquaplaning in heavy rain. I'd recommend something along the lines of the Continental AllSeason Contact or the Michelin CrossClimates.
