Got sent an E-Mail advertising these today,is it a good price and has anyone heard of the company before?From what i can make out postage is only £4.50 which is what's making me slightly suspicous.

As a guide I pay £160 a pair, fitted to loose wheels and balanced, that's about the best price i've managed to find.

Haven't heard of them, but it looks genuine enough - although they are based in Wales :o

Very good price, just need to amke sure you can get them fitted at a decent price as well.

And no, never heard of the supplier.

Just done a search on VD, and there are threads going back over 2 years, so I guess they've been about for a while.

They seem to get a lot of recommendations.

I quite fancy having a go at fitting my own tyres and balancing them,from what i've seen on the 'how to' on www.ducatisti.co.uk (http://www.ducatisti.co.uk) it's not too difficult and the kit would be paid for after 3 tyre changes.

They used to be known as MPS. They're as reputable as it's possible for a mail-order firm to be. I've never had any issues with them in the past - been around for years. That's a very good price for tyres.

I've bought loads of bits and pieces from them in the past for various bikes.
You don't get the specialist knowledge you might get from a smaller shop but their systems are good and the stuff is well packed.
