Should be about $200 each but try Tirerack.com for the best prices I know of.

i'm received a quote of $340 a tire.

and that active steering is a consideration when alignment is performed. i.e., not anyone can align cars with active steering..apparently only the dealer can do this??

Go to tirerack.com and figure out the price. It's way cheaper than buying it from local dealer.

Too bad you're not in Northern California. I have 4 brand new Bridgestone run-flats tires @ $250 per. I'll even throw in the Star Spoke 123's already mounted and balanced.

I know that I'm not helping but anyway.

I've been quoted for a set of Continental SC2, Bridgestone Potenza RE050 and Pirelli Zero's
in the same size for €950 including the changejob etc.

Michelin PS2's and Conti SC3's are about €150-200 more.

Just let us forget that a € (Euro) is worth $1,20.


Edit: We're talking about non RF's!
