Was under the impression that these didn't carry the EU approved 'E' mark on the tyre wall, and as such could cause the scoot to fail the MOT. Have raised this on another forum. But I see AF and S&P still sell them. So what's the true story on these great tyres? (By the way, have them on my existing scoot which has passed MOT twice with them fitted

)

Mark, I was taking the p155, you don't actually think that your MOT guy checks tyres for E marks. I suppose there's an outside chance of an insurance assessor looking for some or anyway out of paying out on a claim but E marks aren't that easy to spot when they are there.
Every Injun restored Lammy I've seen has been fitted with Conti Metro navigators and they're in the same boat.
I think the rear lens on my GP has an E mark but it's probably the only one on it.
Wonder if my crash was caused by my none E marked Yokos or my none E marked disc brake ........................ or some terwat who cut me up?

Cause people post about them having no E mark.
