Toyo r888's illegal for road use?

[lacey_89]

There was talks about making the r888's illegal for road use last year just wondering if anyone knows if this law has been enforced yet? I wanna get a set on my cup....

Fine still. I am running them on my 172 ATM.

They're not illegal.

Looks like I'll be getting a set then

I've heard about the possibility of them being banned in road-going classes at hillclimbs and sprints (hopefully not gonna happen), but never heard of them becoming non-road legal.

The OP is correct. A while back there was talk that semi slick tyres may one day become illegal to use on public roads.

I only read it somewhere so I don't know the ins and outs. IIRC it's to do with them having to be E marked or something, I didn't take much notice as I'm not into them. Don't quote me, I don't know anything more about it, maybe a Google might find more.

 

[McGherkin]

News to me. That would suck.

 

[Adam G]

Sure they'll come up with an alternative if it happens.

As long as they are E-mark'd they are legal in Europe.

Means f**k all here in Spain :dapprove:

 

[mr.pink87]

R888s not allowed in Spain? That's wierd.

Don't know about R888's. I'm on about other things really, ITV (MOT) over here is a nightmare. Even if something 'aftermarket' is E marked they won't let it pass through the ITV.

Was just thinking the same, if anything I'd of thought Spain would be very relaxed over MOTs.
