Winter tyres are not the norm in UK but some may consider it a summer tyre.
The tread pattern and relatively soft compound mean they are actually better than many tyres other than a proper winter tyre.
I fitted proper winter tyres to my Volvo for last winter and just put them back on, I must admit I found very little advantage in grip, certainly not worth the price IMOH, as they are about 25% more expensive than even an expensive Michelin Primacy HP.
Winters are not reall harsh enough around Essex and London where I drive, I have never got stuck at any time in my 25 yr driving career, that includes driving around my native Scotland years ago in heavy snow on country roads.
Nothing that driving skill and forward planning couldn't deal.with.
