[broken link removed])E-mark All tires sold for road use in Europe after July 1997 must carry an E-mark.
In addition to the above, I have been told that the NCT is now an annual test from April 1st. Does anyone know if this is true. Money, money, money.....
Yes for cars >10 years old.... I have been told that the NCT is now an annual test from April 1st. ...

This should clear up all the other new rules.
Re this greater than 10 years:
"At present two thirds of cars aged 10 years and older presented for a test do not pass first time. These older vehicles are more likely to be involved in a collision. Almost half (47%) of collisions that occurred in 2007 involved vehicles that were 9 years old or more. From 1 June 2011 annual testing of cars over 10 years old will commence. Cars over 10 years old will be issued an annual certificate after this date."

HI Guys,
Just a heads up - this was on Mr Joe Duffys show today ( 8/3/2010 ). I would say we will be hearing more about this.
As of APRIL 2010 the NCT now requires you have an E Mark on all your tyres including the spare. If you do not have this it is an automatic fail. You will have about a month to go get a whole new set of tyres - about €300 or more depending on your motor.
Their are other new requirements also, but I would say this one is going to cost alot of people a good bit of cash.
On Duffy this woman was on who failed due to this yesterday ( I think ). She had bought 4 new tyres in March from a main Nissan Dealer. She has gone back to them, but they are claiming they did not know of this new requirement.
I heard about this about two months back in a newspaper. I do not think this E Mark thing was flagged for very long in a very public way? I reckon their should have been at least a year notice before they brought this in.
Another question - If these tyres aren’t legal, why are they being sold here by what seems like a good few garages??
