Not quite sure where they get the name of their company, considering they are very high with their pricing.
I just took a few minutes and did some comparisons and they are anywhere from 15% to 24% higher on most tires.
glad you have no affiliation George.
Ride safe all.

Most US tire suppliers have better prices, but when you consider shipping charges and 'brokerage fees', things don't look so great.

I only know of 2 Canadian-oriented online tire places, Pete's in Quebec
http://www1.petes-superbike.com/ (http://www1.petes-superbike.com/) and these guys in Halifax
http://www.discountmotorcycletires.ca/ (http://www.discountmotorcycletires.ca/)
Their prices are comparable.

That is about the same price - for the Angel ST's - that I was quoted by a dealer here in Vancouver. Not a Kawa dealer, a tire dealer. I ended up buying them online from a US dealer and shipping to a PO box in Washington. Saved a hundred bucks.

I order all my tires from Pete's,fast delivery,awesome prices. The only other online retailer that comes close and will match Pete's prices is Blue Streak Racing.
