2012 Fit Ex 185 55 16 winter tyre choice

Need feedback from Jazz Fit users with latest model , ours has the EX spec with 16" 6J alloys which requires 185 55 16 tyres - not a common size.

Very limited choice in this size of tyre in UK -
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 :
Goodyear Ultra Grip 8
or Pirelli SnowControl XL M+S
all are around £95.00 each - $150.00 + fitting ouch.

So would a tyre - 205 60 16 much more choice be a worthwhile alternative ?

Your views welcomed.
