Sounds about right. Conti twister SS are £50 ish and are slightly heavier. And if a gamma ray, or any uv, IR, or pico-sieverts hit them then they puncture.

Overall good value!

So what Mr Nutt? You can also buy Bugatti Veyron tyres at 6 grand EACH. The very best of everything costs and the law of diminishing returns probably means £130 on the top MTB tyre is about right.

Also, Dugast or FMB MTB tubs aren't far off that price
