if they have the british standards kite on them they are road legal.
think about it, cars that compete in WRC in wales on public roads have to be taxed insured and mot'd. they have harnesses

you can use slicks on the road, so long as they have more than 17.5% tread
Road Legal:
Colway Tyres Formula 2
A 'moulded slick'. Colway's latest rally tyre, designed to meet FIA international regulations that require a minimum 17% tread pattern. Road legal for link sections. A winning single venue stage tyre. Can be hand cut for other applications.
