All rally tyres must be legal for road sections as a matter of course.

True, but you try taking a car for an MOT with them on and it will fail. Most aren't e-marked and if the boys in blue choose to inspect them, that's potentially 12 points. There is an exemption for rally cars whilst competing on events.

Not correct. Been there, done that etc. Multiple occasions, different test stations (and not specifically competition car friendly).

Not really. Depends how the tyres are (or are not) marked.
In this weather I'd prefer to take my chances with rubber that I know will grip reasonably well almost anywhere.
