The TSB for 986 winter/snow tires and chains is 5/04 4400 Binder Group 4. The are various ContiWinterContact VS 790 N0 and Pirelli W240 SnowSport N1 and N3 tires, err tyres.

Edit - the Contis are listed as "for heavy snow areas."

No other brands listed. Again 987s are different.

Ask your service advisor to pull the TSB and determine which are sold in the UK or can be imported.
