I don't think you need winter tyres unless you expect the roads to get really bad. When I lived in the Black Forest people did it there, but then they would expect snow.
People used to talk about rotating your tyres, i.e. shift them all round the car clockwise (or opposite), but then I've seen stuff saying it's not so good to spin them in the opposite way they have done previously.
As with a lot of things I often go with the second level option as the most expensive may not offer much benefit. Son had to get some tyres for the MG4 EV after a year, but then those cars are pretty heavy and will burn through tyres, especially if you make use of the extra torque.
