Don't go for a 245/75R16. There is no point. It just changes your gearing for the worse with no benefit.

235/85R16 all the way. Actually for a good siped winter tyre 7.50R16 would be excellent.

For winter use narrower is always better. If you want flotation in snow you need to look at +40" stuff. A narrow tyre gives you more contact pressure with the road and the tyre sticks better. A narrow tyre also cuts through sleet and slush better and gives better directional stability.

The proof is in the pudding:
