Agree with all you said.

As all the UK would benefit as their seasonal average is 7deg or below from Dec to Feb it makes sense.

Especially as they dont cost that much given the wear would be the same for your "main" tyres.

May be they are only of real benefit for the few days of ice & snow we may see, but the cost is not great if you get the full wear out of them.
