Are slick tyres road legal?


No, slick tyres are not road legal.

The UK's laws are very clear on this. Slick tyres are designed with the sole purpose of optimising performance on a racing track. If you use slick tyres on their vehicles and drive on a public road will be subject to legal penalties.

Slick tyres have no tread and so do not grip the road in the same way as a standard road legal tyre would. If used on a public road, slick tyres could pose a great danger to the safety of yourself and other road users.
