If it's not on it, it's not legal.

A tyre doesn't have to be e marked to be road legal.
No, but a tyre has to be on the 1A or 1B list if you wish to use it in an MSA sanctioned event that uses these ridiculous lists.Technically in the UK the tyre only has to be E-marked in order to be sold for road use in the UK.
But if the tyre isnt E-marked and you are using it on the road, it opens up the whole Construction and Use rules which are even harder to understand than the MSA Blue Book, unless the tyre is very blatantly obviously a road tyre with full visible and legal tread.

This is exactly the problem, it's not clearly defined enought !Technically in the UK the tyre only has to be E-marked in order to be sold for road use in the UK.

Construction and use rules are real simple. So long as the tyre is fit for purpose and has a legal tread it's ok.
I ran for years on none e marked tyres having driven Japanese imports, which of course don't use e marked tyres.
It was a relatively recent aditional to the msa list that any tyre used in msa competition using list 1b had to be e marked. This was to stop people from using dunlop cr311 rally tyres in their none e marked versions.
