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.

Are these (or the worns that you have) road legal then Alyn? What sort of sizes do you have?

I'll be after 195 or 205/50/15 or the equivalent :thumb:

Alyn - just seen your post on SN - you got any 17's of the RS kicking around ?

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.
