Ever heard about winter tyre regulations ?
You can start searching by brand : you will need car details (available on your vehicle manual or license document) and tyre size. Or you can search directly by your tyre size : you can find it easily by looking on the designation (numbers / letters) on your tyres' sidewall.
Your vehicle specifications (including engine and year) can be found on your vehicle's instruction manual or your license document.
The easiest way to find out the size of your tyres is to check the string of numbers and letters written on the sidewall of your current tyres. You can also find it in your vehicle instruction manual.

The first three digits on your tyres' designation (on the sidewall) represent the width of your tyres in millimeters. For example, this tyre is 205 mm wide.
The second two digits in your tyre's designation (on the sidewall) shows the height to width ratio. This tyre’s sidewall height is 55% of its width.
Following R (standing for Radial) you will find the diameter of your tyre's rim in inches. This tyre fits on an 16-inch rim
This code indicates the maximum weight the tyre can carry. The ‘91’ code means this tyre can carry up to 615 kg.
The last element on your tyre's designation is a letter : it indicates its speed index symbol. It is the maximum speed your tyre can carry its load. In this case, ‘V’ 240 Km/h (150 mph).
Tyres with reinforced sidewalls which support the load in the event of a loss of pressure. Reserved for vehicles designed for this type of tyre.
As you specified “I don’t know” the tyres below could fit your vehicle but are not an exact Michelin recommendation. For an exact match, complete your search based on the specifications in your vehicle’s instruction manual and the size on the sidewall of your current tyres.

To find the right tyres, you’ll need your car’s make, range, model, engine type and the year it was manufactured. You’ll find this information in your vehicle instruction manual, which should be in your glove compartment.
You’ll also need to know your vehicle’s tyre size. Simply check the string of numbers and letters on the sidewall of your current tyres (an example is shown in the pucture above) – or find it in your vehicle manual.
If you're checking your tyre size on the sidewall of the tyre - please make sure that you're looking at the same type of tyre. For example: If you want to buy new cold weather tyres, make sure you check the tyre size of your current cold weather tyres. If you check your summer tyres, the letter in the end, called speed symbol, may differ. The legislation allows the speed symbol for cold weather tyres to be lower than for summer tyres. If you for example have size 205 / 55 R16 91V in summer, you may have 205 / 55 R16 91H in winter.
