Winter Tyres - recommendation for Galaxy?

I have a Ford Galaxy 2.0TDCi '07 bought on your recommendation (thank you, it's exceeded expectations!) and, having read your correspondence on winter tyres, have decided to fit them next month.

I understand I'll need another set of rims.

Are there any particular tyre brands you recommend for an MPV like this? I do about 18,000 miles a year and a lot of that is country lanes, if that makes any difference. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I want to stay safe.

I favour Michelin Alpins.
