I had a quick look at the construction and use regs, it doesn’t mention any requirement for an e mark to be road legal. I assume (it would be worth checking) that provided it has tread, it would be legal.

Will do, thanks Zep

Most race tyres will say “not for highway use” or “race use only” or “intended for motorsport” on the side.

Unless they have an e-mark as well; theyll fail an MOT, will invalidate your insurance and any copper will take a dim view.

It might be worth talking to Protyre Motorsport whose parent is Micheldever/Sumitomo.


Micheldever have been around motorsport for decades, and they are high volume suppliers and importers of road tyres as well so you might find someone in their empire who could advise you, at least from the UK perspective.

No, there's no traction control either but I guess it must be from the hubs



I guess it will be a case of seeing what will fit the rims and then getting what I can as close as possible to what should be on there. I don't think there's any chance of going wider though as the wheel is a huge 13" rim on a comparatively small 18" diameter, so it currently has 345 35 18 and the best I can find right now is 335 30 18. There is a Mickey Thompson street tyre available in my size of 345 35 18 but there are question marks over it's legality in the UK


Try these people. Listing 345/35/18
Michelin pilot sport at £345.
