It is very simple. Go to your local tyre dealer and they'll give you winter tyres the same size as your normal ones.

I bought a 2nd set of wheels so I can swap and change from normal to winter tyres as and when temps go up or down sufficiently, without the need to keep using the tyre company.

Mine have lasted 3 seasons so far, using them end of nov to mid march.
