Non-E marked tyres will be illegal for road use.
I'm fairly sure this is not correct. Tyres sold in the UK for road use have to be e-marked but the legal requirement for use is about the
construction, condition etc. E mark is just a convenient way of demonstrating the construction is adequate. There has been much complaint in the road
rally world about recent moves to require that competitors run e-marked tyres on events in Wales...

2.3.
All tyres must carry an EEC 30 or EEC 108 ‘E’
mark. It is illegal to supply for public highway use new
or part-worn tyres that are not ‘E’ or ‘e’ marked tyres (ie
marked in accordance with requirements of EEC
Regulation 30, 30.1, 30.2 or EC Directive 92/23). This
includes VR and ZR tyres (previously exempt).
All new tyres sold from 01.11.2012 must be labelled in
accordance with EU Reg 1222/2009
All new tyres produced after 01.11.2014 must be
marked in accordance with UNECE Regulation 117
(ie carry S, W and R markings)
List 1b tyres
5.
Clubs wishing to use these tyres
in events or championships must
apply in writing to the MSA, and
SRs must provide for their use.
These tyres are prohibited for
Production Car racing.
Some tyres below are available
in compounds which are not
E-marked. Only those tyres below
that are E-marked are valid.

"The ‘GG’ compound of the new tyre has made it onto the approved tyre list for road legality, but also, Toyo has managed to have the even
grippier ‘SG’ compound approved in certain sizes. This super-sticky compound has proven to be a huge seller in sprintand hill-climb markets in the
past, and is particularly popular with lightweight cars like the Caterham and Westfield."

So while I was at Autosport International today I spoke to the guys at Toyo to get some first hand information and this is what I was told;
The R888 will still be avalaible until 2016 when the law chances, so will be slowly phased in over the year as they release more sizes, it is as
stated above road legal and on the 1B list.
Throughout their life the feed back has been about some issues with rolling of the sidewalls and the tendency to go off towards the end of a 15min
race or so, so the new R888R has a stronger sidewall and 16% greater foot print to help it last longer. It has been tested on a few tintops in race
conditions with good feed back in the dry and wet. (forgot who had tested it they did say)
But the down side a 3% price rise.
Thought I would say before I forgot 
PS good show, my first time made me want to sell the road fury and go for some RGB fun

Ive just spent the last few hours searching for some new tyres. I have R888's currently fitted, and cant find them in my size anywhere. Cant
even find anything that looks the same. I have 185/60/R14s
Any Help would be much appreciated. I got it through the MOT with a smile and a promise.

Nangkangs seem to be getting reasonable reviews, particukarly at the price. Not used them though.
