UNIGRIP LATERAL FORCE 4S - Anyone used??

Time for new tyres on my 20's. 255/50/20 gives me minimal all season options.
Car is used mostly on road, a lot of country lanes but typically in tarmac. It drives through flooded roads and on wet grass fields quite a bit but that is pretty much the extent of off roading. Being in Yorkshire I'll expect a bit of snow and ice.

Sticking to those dimensions I have the obvious two choices:
- CONTINENTAL CONTICROSSCONTACT LX SPORT
- PIRELLI SCORPION VERDE ALL SEASON

But then I just saw UNIGRIP LATERAL FORCE 4S All Season.
https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/uni...09w-921273

It gets a C / C for fuel / wet and three-peak mountain snowflake. It claims to be all season and its only £100 a corner.

I cant find any reviews but it ticks all the boxes. Anyone used? whats wrong with it? Thanks,

Next....... I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

TiAuto is really a South African company. Yokohama and Hankook are other companies in the same group as UniGrip.

I trust it will come with a diamonte valve cap in that case. That wouldn't necessarily put me off. If is listed as All Seasons (4S = 4 Seasons?). Does 3 Peaks always mean winter only?

I was waiting on that and much the reason for asking.
It's a saving but on grand scale not massive. Seeing we don't have anyone on here (yet) with experience and there are little, to no reviews online I'll probably stay clear.

Just bit frustrated with limited options. Feels overkill replacing the rims with smaller for more choice so I guess I'll just have to make do with the minimal premium options.

I was very tempted but they appear to be less capable on wet roads than a traditional tyre. Quite frankly most of my driving is on dry or wet tarmac. The AT3 look pretty cool and would be ideal if I was offroad more but based on my driving habits I think it would be a form over function decision. Oh, and I would also have to replace the 5th too I suppose.

Just seen a decent price for scorpion zeros locally so I may take the boring route.
