That's the lowest I've seen those tires, for some reason in England you can get Conti and Campy stuff cheaper than in the states. Still though I never pay more than $20 for a tire.
By the way to the poster that was complaining about how tough it was to put on a tire, in this case a Vittoria. THAT IS A GOOD THING! "What's that?" you scream thinking I'm some sort of idiot for saying such a thing, yes, in case of a blow out or even a fast air leak where you can't stop in time, the tire will be less likely to come off the rim vs an easy to put on tire, and thus put you on a slippery aluminum or CF rim skidding as if on rails to a crash landing someplace with or without injury to yourself and or your bike, but at the very least unrepairable damage to your rim.
