Has anyone had any issues with these tyres failing MOT as my Jim has just failed on illegal tyres, the tester said the sidewall states 'off road use only' (infact it just states off road), he said he couldnt do the brake function test since the aggressive tread pattern tricks the test machine into thinking the brakes are juddering.
and sand off the off road on the tyres then if you get stoped by the police thay wont see it and he is right about failing it on the info on the tyre and the brake tester my pick it up as in balance not brake judder as the rolers dont roll that fast
we've got the same tyres and it has passed both years with no problems
the guy that does the mot also does some work on it and also MOTs and services all our other family cars
had the sam eissue with the Diamond backs on ooky, they were marked Race Use only too.
wheel swap for MOT usually did the trick, however I know the Some of the other Simex copies are legal for road use
