simex without the "E" mark or whatever it is will be illegal soon, if not already.
Most "Extreme" tyres will follow suit im told.
There worth lots of money now if you have a set.

dont worry
From November 2012, a new law from the EU compels all new tyres sold to carry information that grades wet braking, rolling resistance and noise levels, using a picture system similar to that already used when buying electrical equipment such as fridges.
Tyre manufacturers will have to ensure the information is supplied with every new tyre that leaves the factory while retailers will also have to make sure the customer is shown the information before sale.
It mentions nothing about tyres currently fitted
the new tyre labelling does not apply to re-tread tyres and larger size tyres or cars made before 1980

A far as I know, and this was told to me by a tyre dealer, these regulations refer to NEW tyres, not remoulds.
Thats one of the reason BFG and General Grabber changed their tread pattern, but you can still get the "old" BFG mud pattern as a remould from Insa-Turbo.
I may be wrong... It's happened before (a lot!)

it appears to indicate that 'off road professional tyres' are excluded

But only when used off road probably, so bless tailoring would still need road legal tyres.

No
I have seen this in Lro and you saying they are banning them for the road noise but the performance of the tyre in adver conditions as well?
Surly it's the drivers responsibility to use his head to work out what's safe n what's just been stupid,
I used to run a road legal track car on yoko a048 there's are a road legal slick, grips like no other tyre (besides Toyo r888 the same tread pattern) but if it rained then you might have well been driving on ice. So are they going to ban these as well?
There must be some human rights law against banning tyres that have been made for years, why should simex looses sales just cause to tool in an office doesn't under stand the joy of off roading.
