That's a little pricey - does it include mounting, balancing, tax and tire disposal fee? I see you have an '08 e60 - Will one new tire match up with the other's? You'll probably want same brand and tread style on the same axle, too. Finding that size and brand / model tire in stock at a local tire store may be tough.

If you think that is bad check out the OEM Runflats... Rears are around $400 for the 18", for one tire...

In Bham you can get Tire engineers to do it for a heck of a lot less than that...

Man, your luck sucks this week. First a parking ticket now flat tire. I hope the rest of your week goes well.
P.S. Try discount tire. That's where I buy my tires.

$500 each? What are your tires? That's a fortune.
