it would seem that as long as the tyres are correctly fitted all the same and in good condition and that the tyres are marked with the size the speed rating if apropriate and that it is marked as radial/remold/crossply and that they meet the tyre loading of the vehicle there is no reason for rejection
in fact you can legaly get an mot on a tyre that is marked not for road use if and this is the only time the e mark is mentioned
it carrys the emark with a code no
the minestry bod said that it is acepted that the markings contained below are all aceptable in the uk
(http://http://i654.photobucket.com/albums/uu270/scramblerman3/tyre.gif)
the markings with asterics are what should be on a north american made tyre
to be considered compliyant
ther are laws in the pipe line that may change this due in a few years
i dont know about boggers as i dont have any to look at the markings on but this is what you need to look for if you are buying any mad tyres
if you can add more info please do but this is what i was told today

none of wich is contaned in the testers online [vosa site] guidelines i dint evan see the 2 mil for tyre tread across the whole tread
seems that not all departments of the government acept that not all of the world is in the eu and some do
there must be a dispensation for some obsolete tyres prewar cars and military vehicles spring to mind

he also says that new tyres are going to be harder to get as eu directives are leading to massive expanshion of remolded and remix tyres to almost cut out scrap tyres in a wider green policy from the eu

PART II
REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THE SUPPLY OF TYRES
etc etc
supply of tyres, that would be the tyre retailer, its also a consumer law,so again aimed at protecting the customer, not the retailer;
at the end of the day if I had some idiot crash into me in a jeep on boggers on the road, I know exactly what I would be pointing out to the police, the insurance etc etc
