very few people will run those tyres in the winter though, as they're more track day tyres if anything.

Do not operate the car with these tires, as the tires may suddenly fail

i read it.

basically says when not using these tyres, make sure you store them in temp's above 20C, and do not use when temp is below 0C.

the thread will crack over time.

yes, and none of the tyres listed are commonly used on uk roads, unless you own a silver vx220 and go by the name of adam, in which case, you're fucked
