I looking through the Eiretyres site and see that the tyres are classed Winter or Summer. Which is best for our lovely temperate climate?

Yes summer. AFAIK winter tyres are designed to be driven on 50/50 dry roads and icy/snow roads.

We don't get what they classify as winters in central Europe. Summer tyres are what we use year round, as far as I am aware.
