Question replacement tires for toyota 7 spoke alloy's

Yesterday ,I hit a rock (cantalope size) that the p/u in the next lane threw over in front of my Yaris at the last second , blew the sidewall & bent the Toyota alloy (7 spoke) on the drivers rear , the rock was rolling across lanes ...i was doing about 45 mph ...

Soo i'm replacing the wheel as I like the 7 spokes ,

but i was thinkin' i upgrade the tires to the best i can get ..

I need something that is well handling in the WET as we get winter storms here all winter long .
the stock tire size is 185/60r15
.........................................can I go up to a 195/60r15 ??

Has anyone got an opinion on what's the best tire out there in that size ???


.. I like the Michelins but they have had many recalls as of late on the rain tires of theirs ,I'm not sure i want to go with them anymore ..
