Given our mild (compared to some) winters and the occasional snow/ice spells is it worth investing on a spare set of wheels with winter tyres on them? If I did what size…

Hi all

I recently bought a 9 year old rear wheel drive motor with 225/45/17 on the front and 245/40/17 on the rear all with Continental summer tyres.

Given our mild (compared to some) winters and the occasional snow/ice spells is it worth investing on a spare set of wheels with winter tyres on them?

If I did what size wheel and tyre combination should I go for? Common opinion seems to be drop an inch or two on the diameter anyway

Advice appreciated

Thanks
