"It has been brought to my attention that there may be serious irregularities regarding a particular type of tyre being supplied to our sport.
The tyres in question are 195/65/15 & 185/70/14 AGI-Sarak and bear the E certification number of E11 108R -000001, but have no date stamp , no temperature, tread or traction information printed on them. They may also bear a red sticker on the side wall showing the words “NASA DRIVE”, even though they are not approved by NASA. Please note that this advice does not relate to any tyres which do show the information referred to.
I strongly advise you to inform your members immediately that it may be an offence to use the tyres in question on any motor vehicle or trailer on the road, and they should not do so until and unless this point has been clarified. Further, they cannot use these tyres at NASA events, as they do not comply with NASA’s rules and hardness requirements. The National Autograss Sports Association is currently investigating the position, as a matter of urgency, and will advise further."
