Does anyone know if these tyres are legal for road use?

I use the Star Specs. They have all the right letters on the side. I'm 99% sure they're legal.

Unrelated to the original question but where are you getting them from?

Yes they're street legal. But you would not want to use them for everyday. They're soft Rspecs so you'll wear them out very quickly (expensive tyres!). They also need heat in them before they grip, so you'll actually have less grip in most situations than you would with regular street tyres. But if you're only using them for the track and driving too/from the track, go for it.

They're also approved by CAMS as production car tyres.

Thanks for all the info - I like the option of being able to drive them to them track. Jeo, off a mate and mounted on 15 inch wheels!
