Still no mention from MRF to my mail either. The problem Richard, as given to me from a UK supplier, is that they understand the adopted EU law requires every tyre they sell, as a commercial outlet, be approved to the exhaustively documented EU standards and so marked with the E mark and the spec approval number.

If a tyre is unapproved, which is likely unless the market is tens of thousands minimum owing to the horrendous cost of submitting to EU approval, then the only option to sell legally is to mark these "implement" no matter what they really are, whereupon it is up to the user to ensure the application is commensurate with the limits of this requirement, i.e. the supplier is off the hook.

Some suppliers kindly use the provided blank window on the side wall and print this in indellible black ink. It need be on one wall only and there is no requirement to have this on the vehicle outside.

I have the same problems with overly expensive two-way radios, they have to meet ETSI approvals this and that and the other or are unlicensable, the user and me would take a huge tumble otherwise.
