Potentially stupid question about tyres
Discussion
I've just been having a look through the online MOT manual (http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_410.htm) for the MOT test tyre rules and it does not say anything about "Competition Use Only" marked tyres as being a reason for failure.
So apparently, going by the letter of the MOT manual; my Avon F3 wets should pass an MOT.
Have I missed something or do I actually have a chance of getting an MOT with these tyres?
BTW: I realise F3 wets are perhaps not the best road tyres (they'd be good in the wet though :D). It would just be handy if I could use them for an MOT.
TIA!

te51cle: IIRC, stuff of car's doesn't have to be E-marked for an MOT - for the SVA it does, but not an MOT. Two different sets of rules.
A car can even pass an MOT with almost flat tyres - something that would potentially get 3 points and a squillion £ fine if stopped on the road.
When I were a nipper, cut slicks would even pass an MOT if you could prove they were cut by the manufacturer and they had (in those days)1mm of tread. This was even if they had 'not for highway use' on them.
I'm just trying to ascertain what the difinitive guide (purely for the MOT inspection) is if it's not the MOT tester's manual?
