Does that sound like too much coin to you? I hear everyone say they are relatively cheap, but this is what my nearest shop quoted me. I live in canada, so actually it was 575 cdn but i converted for you guys to help out. I am talking for 205-50-15s too so u know

So sound typical, or too much? thats $99 u.s. for each tire, taxes in and no mount and balance

20-50-15 he already said

well if the tires go for 100 bux then thats not too bad i guess.. but im not sure if you can find them cheaper or not!

100 x4 =400 plus mounting, balancing, and taxes not that bad different shops charge different prices for the labor..

you can find them on the internet for like 63 dollars or so a piece. I was looking around just the other week and found pretty much every online store that carried them were around that price range.

I paid 68$ a tire so 68x4 = $272 so you are paying almost 175$ to have them mounted. Sounds a little over-priced to me.

Well my problem is I have to pay more cause the distributors always get things from the states so they jack up their mark-up. Ordering them online is pretty much out...for example an $80 u.s. lip cost almost $250 cdn when i was through ....thats about twice the original price......shipping ownz us canadians...feel bad for your brethren to the north!! Everytime i call a shop for a price, then see what you guys are getting for, i feel raped.....really sux

thanx for lettin me vent alittle....still not sure if i wanna spend so much on tires
