E marked tyres basically men they are fit for the European market.

Like when you anything electrical it has to have a CE mark.

What brand are they Nick?

If you have things like Nankang on they only have the E mark on one side wall of the tyre.

When I took the Surf for a SVA they searched for ages until the found the marking on the side with the white lettering, they where all on the inside of the tyre.

It might be worth taking one off and rubbing all the lettering with chalk so that it stand out more and then search on the inside.

All new tyres over here will be E marked.

2nd hand tyes from a tyre by law should be E marked.

So the moral is changed your mates  Laughing

I bet he knew they were illegal becasue they failed a SVA on an import.  Take them back and play hell with him  Evil or Very Mad

It's getting like France ( second thoughts - it'll never even compare to France until global warming really gets going, and the politicians learn to leave us alone and let us get on with our lives, and UK starts serious wine production... Wink ) - they'll be after all the glass next - windows, lights, mirrors - all have to be E marked, as do the seat belts - all 7 of them  Shocked  Laughing

They already do Anne, people who have changed over to clear lenses or Lexus style can be done because most of them don't have an E mark.

It goes back to the old one about changing your lower brake lights to fog lights, it will pass a MOT but it is illegal and if Nick's hd been done and they checked he would have been done for that.

The lenses is E marked but the wrong one.  If you look lenses have E2, E4 etc on them, it has to be the right one.

I'm fully legal for a change as you might be able tell  Laughing I think the pajero was.  First cars in years  Embarassed  always had a brake fog light change or tyres like Nick had or not insured for business, nothing safety related just technicallites  Rolling Eyes
