9.00-13 Tyres

I have no doubt that there is an exemption on the basis that the vehicle using the tyres is before EU directives then non E marked/approved is legal, but here's a catch 22, the dealers are now legally bound to only sell either E marked tyres or they are indelibly marked "Agricultural/Implement - 20MPH" or some such.

This allows the driver, who is legally responsible for the vehicle on the road, to use non-approved tyres commensurate with the vehicle age; and indeed you can privately "import" such stuff for personal use. I see some people are circumventing the law by selling tubes and flaps at a huge price but you get a free tyre with them. . . . . . . . . . .

Rex Ward had a container load of 7.50-20 GMC truck tyres made in China, apparently they are selling well in the UK. Note they are FREE with the purchase of a tube and flap!

I know the Jimmy is more abundant than the CMP, but surely the same sort of deal must be possible on a load of 9.00-16 tyres?
