Should I buy my company car?

I can buy my company car, owned since new, next march at a very good price. it will have done about 50k miles by then. What could go wrong in the next few years & what should I get sorted before I buy it?
Also, any idea where I can get winter tyres & steel wheels to fit it- I have tried everywhere but no luck.
In desperation, I fitted Pirelli scorpions last time in the hope they would be a reasonable compromise - are they any better than normal summer tyres?
