Exactly.
I run Michelin Primacy 3 in the summer and Continental WinterContact TS860 in winter on the mini and honestly I think the only time the winter tyres have been genuinely useful are when we've gone out of our way to find some snow.
If it wasn't for the fact the winter wheels help keep the summer ones pristine it would be hard to justify the effort of swapping them over.
We just don't have the climate for them in most parts of England I don't think.
