For myself, although we do get more snow than snusnu quotes, I live in an urban area and roads are generally cleared so have managed in the most with summer tyres.
well I agree with you on this but again, if I were looking for winter tyres in UK, i would go for the cheapest winter tyres of the right size, to be fair Unless budget stretches a bit.

anyway, winter tyres should last at least couple of winter (you'd want to demount them for summer).

In Lithuania (where I am from) legal requirement is to remove summer tyres from the 1st of November. You can mount summer tyres back on 1st of April. so all sets of tyres usually last 2 years or so
