Those tires plus

Michelin Xice plus Nokian models are your best bet for tire brands of winter tires.

Best to have four snow tires on this car.

Your choice if you want studded snow tires or not.

Best to use additional wheels for winter tires...steel wheels are cheapest.
Main reason for additional wheels is because mount and balance labor prices have gotten expensive.
It is typical now to pay $25. each wheel for mount and balance these days.

Can we believe Consumer Reports ? Attached from their November 2018 issue which just came in my mail:
