mcspool Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) They are just Bar Grips, not Trakgrips which everyone wants. Chris, Correct, see http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?21617 But the MRF tyres come (or used to come?) in two variants, so anyone planning to buy these make sure you get the right ones.

Marmite!! Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 E Marking All car tyres sold from 1st July 1997 must carry an 'E' marking. The 'E' or 'e' mark consists of an 'E' or 'e' followed by a number included in a circle of 12mm diameter or a rectangle. This symbol is followed by a further number. The 'E' certifies that the tyre complies with the dimensional, performance and marking requirements of ECE Regulation 30. The 'e' certifies that the tyre complies with the dimensional, performance and marking requirements of DIRECTIVE 92/23/EEC. The number associated with the letter 'E' in the circle or 'e' in the rectangle is the code number of the government which granted the type approval (No. 11 for the British Government and a different identifying number for each of the other European countries involved). The number outside the circle or rectangle is the number of the type approval certificate issued for that particular tyre size/type. Tyre suppliers commit an offence if they sell a car radial ply tyre which does not have an 'E' mark showing that it complies with the load and speed requirements of ECE regulations. With certain exemptions (ie tyres for pre-1949 vehicles and for off-road and competition use), from 1 January 1997 new car and light trailer tyres (including 'VR' and 'ZR' radials) must be ECE or EU approved and 'E' or 'e' marked respectively (and from 1 June 1997 for motorcycle tyres). Since 1 January 1995 it has been illegal for any person to supply re-treaded tyres unless they are marked to indicate compliance with the current BS AU 144 standard. It is also illegal for any person to supply a part-worn tyre which does not comply with legal requirements and which does not have tread grooves at least 2mm deep DIRECTIVE 92/23/EEC http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:1992L0023:20060101:en:PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a similar regulation for commercial tyres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordf30 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi all, We borrowed one of these to do WOT 2 rims a while back and worked really well. I do recall seeing them for sale at W & P a couple of years ago for £ 75.00 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
