I am trying to thin out my ever-swelling collection of wheels and tyres in the unit. I have six Yokohama A035s on white 14 inch Rover 200-series alloys. They are marked 'For rally use only'.
Am I correct in thinking these are now useless?

Tyres - new rules etc.
No, they are allowed as they feature on List 6.
Only tyres with 'for competition use' on them and dont' feature on List 6 or the FIA Asphalt WRC tyre list are banned for use on road rallies, or targa rallies.
This is the official new wording :-
Tyres for Road Rallies. 3.2. For all Road, Navigation, Targa Road and Historic Road Rallies tyres are free subject to the following;
a) tyres on the current FIA List of Asphalt Eligible Tyres are permitted; including sizes not homologated.
b) Tyres on List 1B(from 2020) and List 1C are not permitted other than the Avon CR28, the Avon CR6ZZ and the Pirelli P7 Corsa Classic, for pre 1/10/90 registered cars, and the Yokohama AO21R (manufactured before 01/11/14);
c) Tyres marked for "competition use" are not permitted with the exception of tyres on List 6 and 3.2a)
I am pretty sure Motorsport UK could do with a better legal draftsperson.....
A new job for you given your background?
