They're remoulds. They're legal etc. but I'm not sure I'd want remoulds on my 2.5t vehicle doing motorway speeds...
Yes, I know lorries use remoulds but then they have lots of wheels, not just one at each corner, and they shed the treads quite frequently judging by the number one sees on the highways and byways.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I went over a bit on the motorway. Caused a blowout and destroyed my tyre. Not nice!

I guess using them as a play day tyre would be ok but I wouldn't want to use them for any long motorway trips.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
