What does it say on the side wall?
Does it say "Not for Highway use" or "Agricultural Use only"?

Think the speed rating on them is quite low, our compact tractor has a set of Simex version of the same thing fitted. they're bloomin' wide as you know, and for road legal-ness should be covered from above. but as above, if they've got 'not for road use' etc written on the sidewall then they're a no no

All down to speed rating.
Speed rated agri tyres are expensive
Although I've just picked up 3 brand new ones for £150 off the bay of plenty
Bleeding impossible fitting 12 ply sidewalls though
