Winter tyres - which are best for the C-Class?

I shall be taking delivery of a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class 200 Sport next month and want to get winter tyres fitted, as it is a rear-wheel drive car. What tyres would you recommend and what price should I expect to pay?

Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons or Vredestein Quatracs to leave on all year round. Vredestein Wintracs to leave on only for the winter.

Much improved interior quality. More refined and better to drive than predecessor. Facelift diesels get new 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engines.
