In case anyone is wondering what winter tyres (yes, we do that here in Denmark!) to put on his car, heres' what I've done...:
Fronts are 185/55-R14 Pirelli Snowsport.
Rears are 195/60-R14 Continental winterContact TS780
Rims are Borbet CA which I could find with the correct hub size, PCD and offset (it's 30, ideal is 28).
I think they are excellent - I have to get used to the look of the new rims though! :D
But the mechanic pointed out that the outer steering joints had completely failed, they have developed serious wear in just two months! There was nothing in August - now both sides are worn... I guess that's just a lilttle warning to you all: when you start using your Murena on a daily basis, things like this will wear out if they are close to the limit (so to speak) already.

I can followup with my setup:
Goodyear Ultragrip-5 195/60/14 rear
Goodyear Ultragrip-5 185/60/14 front
and they are absolutely fantastic, - LOADS of grip, and a ride comfort which makes the Murena go like a magic carpet. I'm not kidding, - they are really that good.
On my Espace JE I have Continental WinterContact TS790 225/55/R16 on all four corners.
