Class 7 MOT testers should check the tyre load ratings, which they don't on a class 4 :|

That's only 12 points and £240 :P
£60...where have you been the last few years? It's likely the rating would be sufficient for load anyway I think. Find me a cop who'd check beyond tread, tear or bulge. I wouldn't
