Hi,

I recently imported a Van via a dealer from Japan. The wheels and tyres came fitted from Japan. The tyres are Fuel Gripper MY all terrain tyres.

This is an American brand with a DOT rating on each tyre.

The Van passed UK MOT with these tyres on. When speaking with tyre dealers to get a spare, I have been told these are not authorised for purchase in the UK as they are not 'E' Marked.

Bearing in mind that the tread depth is fine as they are basically new.

Are these legal to use in the UK?

Thanks.
