    Do you mean where to buy it? Or is that a sarcastic question in that you don't think it should be here?

    Sorry if I've taken you up wrong.

    Not a Bargain at all!

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=18796

    €36.58 each here without tubes which are only €3/4 quid anyway

    I did further analysis on the web page and discovered this!

    The OP is above the normal price across a few websites. So it ain't a bargain.

    Ah ok, I thought it was good for what I buy them in the shop, admittedly I don't use chain reaction. Sorry!

    What does that mean about the updated time? Did they increase the price?

    It shows that they only posted or modified this page today and that it's strange how you posted an hour after that time. ;)
    If I search for those tyres in Google I dont even get that page in the first 5 pages of results - how did you find it?

    Oh right, they posted about it on their Facebook. Sorry for not checking out other prices.
    Can/Should I delete this since it's not supposed to be here?

    Amazon are even cheaper at around €33.50 ...

    €67 for the pair leaves plenty of change for tubes :)

    Fook I thought this was car tyres and got all excited...

    I got two gp4000s delivered from germany during the week, all in €59, then I picked up 6 tubes for €12 from wiggle. Now that was good value. The tires were ordered on Friday and were with me the following Tuesday.

    53 for two tyres - https://www.bike-components.de/products/info/p16016_Grand-Prix-4000-S-2er-Set-Faltreifen-.html?xtcr=1&xtmcl=

    Admittedly there is shipping in there but I normally in bulk from these guys once per year so I can't remember of hand.

    Actually the link I posted works out cheaper, the two tires are €53.90 and postage to Rep Of Ireland is €7.95 when you select the DHL option once in the checkout screen. They've actually gone up by €1 each since I purchased them last week, as I paid €59 all in

    Did you not see the bit about the tubes though? (although I made the same mistake :o ).

    Just out of interest - are there any tubeless bicycle tyres on the market?

    Not your ornery onager

    I saw the bit about tubes and thought what car has tubes these days:D Then I read the post

    Yes, but you'd need wheels designed for them or modify your current wheels.
