They knobblys but they don't say anything normally all the ones I've had before say off road use only or something to indicate otherwise ...

Surely only legal for road use with an E mark. Otherwise off road only.....

Well iam think these are only for off road use then as they don't have any markings other than the tyre size and the load index and p.rating which is 6 p.r ... there's no e marks after any numbers or speed ratings just the ply rating ...

Does it say MST anywhere on the sidewall?, if so it should be road legal as far as I know, was what my MOT bloke told me anyway.
