I used Dean for some moto tires in July 2018 shipped to Barnaul. No issues with the tires other than me waiting a bit to long so selection was limited in order to meet my time frame.
If you are collecting the tires in Barnaul I would suggest you collect the tires from Dean's contact there (Andrey) and take them to be mounted on your own. I had asked Andrey to recommend a shop where I could service the bikes. Two pinched tubes (one there, one found shortly thereafter) out of four tires. Of the two tires that were directional, one was mounted backwards. Andrey did the work on the bikes and managed to poor oil down the side of one and under filled both even after I told him exactly how much was required (1/2L low of 2.3L required). All the while I got to listen to him tell me how shitty my bike (650 Rotax) was because he blew one up many years ago (not that I was surprised by this info). On the plus side, he did find me an additional tire at a local shop nearby.
Later in Mongolia we met some German bikes who had a similar experience. Another Italian rider also relayed a story
YMMV.
