Is the weather that predictable in your part of the world?
You'd be safer on proper winter tyres, just in case you get caught in snow, and for the better low-temperature characteristics.
I'm not familiar with the particular models you mention, or your local regulations, but over here in Sweden winter tyres are compulsory if you're driving in winter conditions. Here in the south we don't get that much snow, so some people use studded tyres which are better on ice, but hard on the roads and noisy, also illegal in neighbouring countries, so like many others I use M&S (Michelin).
In my native England, hardly anybody uses winter tyres, and there's chaos every winter at the slightest fall of snow, with cars coming off the road, getting stuck, etc.
My advice is to get a set of winter tyres, on steel wheels, and swap them over for the winter months.
Drive carefully!
