look like tarmac rally tyres, not road legal as they have no wear bars
I bet they grip well
what size are they ?

they are normally re-moulds. not great compaired to proper track day tyres but decent value for money. they are to keep costs down in motorsort.

that's good news then I was under the impression they were not. they will be ideal for the saxo until I can afford something better

Yes they are definitely road legal if they are tarmac rally tyres. If they weren't not many rally teams would buy them

They are remoulds. So the compound isn't going to be quite as consistent once warm, but all round they will be very good. Above what most will need on track days in a saxo. And they are nice and cheap usually (unless you get pirelli's etc). Maxsport rb5's are a popular cheap remould tarmac semi slick. Tweeks do them for good prices.
