Does this sound about right?? (Tire quote)

Discount Tire (Not Direct) wants $117 + Tax for Yokohama AVS ES100s in 215/45/17. That includes mounting, and lifetime rotation and balancing. Does this sound alright? It sounds a little expensive, but I guess if I bought them off the internet... It would cost me $60 to mount them... so it probably works itself out.

You should try to negotiate them down a little more. I was quoted a lower price then that on those same tires by the Americas Tire Company near wear I live. Go in to your local shop and talk them down. Bring cash, everyone responds to that. I was quoted $460 total including California's rape of a tax and that was without even trying to talk them down yet.
