You wont find any cheaper, he is the importer, distrubutor and retailer all in one.
He wont supply shops with any form of discount so is keeping the market to himself.
If you order 10 or more he does offer some sort of discount though

By means of postage reduction i believe.
They are the best trail riding tyre, ie, initial purchase price is low, good puncture resistance, good grip, excellent mileage.
No brainer in my book.

And to add, I've just ordered two pair of E09 Dakar tyres, to try on my X-Challenge and Timolgra's 640Adv. Looking for an alternative to Michelin Deserts/T63 and Pirelli MT21.

Just bought the Newish Mitas extreme 754 trying it at the moment even better than the c02 at the moment , a smaller tread block and loads better in mud.
Just got to see how it gets on with the milage compared to the C02

Knobby, is the 754 carrying the markings needed to enable legal road use.
I have two different stories in my head, one of when the 754 was branded as a Trelleborg, it is not road legal, and now it is rebranded to Mitas X754 it is road legal.
Can you take a look on the carcass for MST, speed rating, DOT type markings....... :nenau

The E09 tyres i ordered yesterday have just arrived, fair play to Trellesport Tyres, excellent delivery time.
The rear looks the bo!!ocks, and both fr and rr have good strong carcass. I might be on to something here..... but I had to look for an alternative, the Michelin/Pirelli tyres were far too expensive nowadays!!!

There should be the letter E or e in a circle for road legal in the uk

Wasn't knocking the tyres as i use them and recommend them to everyone, just saying the the guy who distributes them likes to keep it all to himself so you wont find cheaper deals from others and basically he can name his own price

Got my Co2 and C19 today - ordered yesterday! Great service and great price. The tyres look pretty mean though. Not looking forward to trying them on tarmac!
