Hi,
Michelin Enduro comps - Road legal? Yes agree can be very vague.
check here
http://www.dirtbikestore.co.uk/acatalog ... es_66.htmlSeen the comps advertised as road legal in a few places. But again thats still not a definitive. I would think I have a pretty solid argurement that they are road legal if challenged.
They suit my light 200exc as they drift a little earlier and give nice warning/feel. Running Crossengos (also MST marked) at the moment these last twice as long (2k+ miles rear) but grip then slide/snatch on my bike - Seem better on a heavier/4 stroke.
Just found this on the MOT site
Item 2 Motorcycle Tyres - Motocross or Similar
There is a number of Motocross or similar type tyres on the market with the spacing between the block treads greater than the block width and that have been approved for road use. According to the MOT Inspection Manual guidance these tyres should be failed unless they have an approval marking and MST (Multi Service Tyre) moulded into the sidewall of the tyre.
If a machine is presented for MOT test fitted with any of these types of tyres, you should not fail them just because they do not display MST. If the tyre is marked with an ‘E’ in a circle, or an ‘e’ in a rectangle, moulded in to the tyre wall, this shows that the tyre has been type approved for road use. Similarly if a tyre is permanently marked with the letters JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) or DOE (American Standard) then the tyre is also approved for road use. These tyres may not necessarily be marked MST as set out in the information column in Section 4.1 page 1 (‘Examples of unsuitable tyres’ paragraph b.) of the MOT Inspection Manual.
Therefore principal reason for failure 1, ‘an unsuitable tyre’ in the Motor Bicycle and Side Car Testing Manual section 4.1 page 1 does not apply to these tyres providing they permanently display on a sidewall any of the approval markings mentioned in the above paragraph.
Cheers
