I understand from another forum that new legislation is coming in that will limit the ability to run track tyres on the road, has anyone come across this?

Context:

Post #10
Right just spoke to Mr Tyre who know there stuff & supply lots of the Teams etc .

After Nov 2014 any tyre made not just Track tyres have to conform to lots of testing ..wet grip ..dry grip ...noise ...etc !
Where all the track tyres are coming undone is Noise ...
All the top end tyres are only meeting F grade & they need to be G to pass .!

Everybody has stocked up on old tyres made before 2014 as that's ok ...
But the EU has given Track tyres until end of 2016 to get rid of old stock ..

Now here's some info ..
No tyre including new Toyo R888R that's the first top end tyre to meet the Regs are anywhere near as good as the old tyres YET ????
Dunlop & others are working on tyres & trying to give DZ03g quality but because of Noise it's going to be difficult so say ?
