I replaced a rashed rear style 124 and the bill came ot just over $500 USD
I'd ask them for the other wheel back so you have a spare...

I just called Kwik fit (tyre fitter in the UK), they quoted ?175GBP for a 245/35/18 Goodyear RF with a Y rating, they fit for free, even if the Dollar rate was at 2x$ to the ? it looks like you have had dental extraction from ya wallet by your supplier.
