imho southern uk just doesnt get cold enough to justify winter tires there.
What justification is needed for Winter tyres? Financial cost? A couple of hours twice a year getting them swapped? The additional cost of the tyres is offset by additional life of the summer tyres so no additional financial cost other than paying someone to swap the tyres over and/or storing them, or, for some, paying for an extra set of dedicated rims that can double up as an emergency spare. For us, with an additional set of rims, I recon having a set of winters to cover the life of the car will be around £800, so less than the cost of a minor scratch repair by a Tesla approved workshop and that's before any time, inconvenience and third party is factored into equation. I just think of it as an additional insurance policy - hopefully I will never need them, but will more than cover things if the need arises.
