I have noticed on a few websites that they say they’re not allowed to sell motorsport tyres online, Protyre for example have the following excerpt.

Please note: Race and trackday tyres may ONLY be purchased through the Motorsport team directly. We regret that we are not permitted to sell motorsport tyres online. Motorsports can be highly dangerous and we are legally obliged to make the consumer aware of any appropriate Health & Safety warnings at the time of sale.

Whereas other websites make no reference to any legislation & have an online shop etc…

Googles doesn’t shed any light on any legislation regarding the sale of motorsport tyres, does anyone know know what the laws actually are? Are Protyre et al just getting you to call them so they can sell you extra etc...?
