Winter tyres - any recommendations?

I have sourced a spare set of 18-inch alloys for my Hyundai iX35 (did consider 17s, but found them hard to source). I now need to sort out the winter tyres - size is 225/55/18/98H - for which there are limited options. Falken Eurowinter 449 is looking like a reasonable option, would you recommend these or suggest any other tyres?

If you can't get Pirelli Sotto Zeros, then Michelin Latitude Alpins or Vredestein Wintracs. The 18-inch size for Evoques is 235/60 R18s and the rolling circumference should be about the same as 225/55 R18s. More help at www.tyrereviews.co.uk
