Wow, didn’t expect that in the UK market, just saw some prices at atseuromaster.co.uk.
One reason more to consider the already mentioned Michelin CrossClimate2, or alternatively the Goodyear 4Seasons Gen-3, these 2 seem to be in a similar price bracket as a comparable summer tyre and come on top in several tests.

The farm I went to yesterday was up a long steep poorly maintained track that had a bit of snow and Ice.
Very much enjoyed watching the twat in a BMW coupe try to charge his way up, lose grip, slide all the way down, and try again. Then another idiot in a BMW came up behind him on the single track, tried the same thing and ended up with the coupe sliding uncontrollably into him!

The fact is, despite all the excitement, some people (not the whole country) see some snow for perhaps a few days in the winter. Some winters it doesn’t snow at all in England or in the populous parts of Scotland or Wales either. So there’s hardly any demand, and the prices reflect that.
Two BMW’s in front of me approaching a roundabout on a relatively minor road, one carrying on forwards and the second turning right. Vehicle one carrying on forwards managed a spectacular fish tail manouvre as he attempted his mini S shaped line of direction around the roundabout and vehicle two turning right a decent but uncontrolled 180. Rear wheel drive, I can only suspect that they tried powering their way through the roundabout. It’s difficult to suppress a wry smile, undoubtedly the wrong type of ice.

I’ve CrossClimates and snow chains for the 3-series, no snow though here in Oxfordshire. 
Even up in the Alps last Feb, every road was gritted and snow ploughed, or on a heavy snow day you would not go out in the car anyway, well that and getting Covid 
In the last 5 odd years I’ve had winter tyres on a car, its never actally been at a time when its snowed so although on my 3rd set of CrossClimates, I’ve never actually driven them properly in snow other than in an Alpine car park!
Obviously @TMC always seems to be further off the beaten track and enjoying some proper snow drifts!

How did they end up facing that direction?!
Also, when one has to be in work for 7am the ploughs are often still clearing.

I think they tried to negotiate the (uphill) tight left turn and ran out of skill traction and grip! Was absolutely mad. And people placing themselves in danger by pushing Datsun Cashcows, etc up hill was just like the beginning of Casualty…

An ex neighbour scratched ‘cunt’ into every panel of her boyfriend’s shiny company car after discovering his infidelity.
And slashed all the tyres.
