ShawnPreece Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Been looking around at tyres and these Mickey Thompson's (in the link below) say they are dot stamped and road legal... The website is from the states, do hey have different laws on what is road legal to us here in the UK or would these be road legal here too? Just asking as they dont look it to me but hoping they are https://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Unfortunately the laws are different over here and, strictly speaking, they're not road legal. They also have to be E marked to be legal over here. But are fair game in the States I think R888's is about as close as you can get to road legal slicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toyos are for circuit driving, not drag racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Also, you may struggle to get the ET Streets over here now: http://www.avonmotorsport.com/resource-centre/tyre-applications/drag-racing Although there are still a few dealers with them listed.
