Are these road legal in any way?

Might be able to get hold of the RE tyre - thought it might be a good laugh on track days.

No answer when I called but I would suspect they may be. Similar to the Colways etc in that respect. Will update the thread when they call me back.

The RS looks similar to Maxsport RB5, a tarmac rally tyre which has just enough tread to be road legal. RB5 is a remould for 60 quid or so; haven't tried them yet.
