I don't know about the legal aspects of using them in the UK, you may be right. But your next comment shows how little you understood what I said.

The baker who delivers round here looked at the weather in the morning and when it turned really bad he invested less than 10 mins to put 2 studded tyres on the front on his fwd truck. As soon as the roads are clearer he whips them off again. There is no question of running with them on tarmac as you would have very little grip (by comparison to an ordinary road tyre) Horses for courses.

MeoW! No, I didn't misunderstand. The point is that most people don't change their tyres. So they cut up the roads. So it's made illegal as a result. The roads in the town I lived in in Germany were a real mess a week after the snow melted. They were also rather concerned about the possibility of the studs flying out and killing people at speed (there is NO point in telling Germans to drive slowly. It's a bit like Essex in that respect:)).

What you could do is keep two spare wheels with the chains on, and change to those when it snows. Same system, more legal.
