$200 seems fairly reasonable today. It's amazing what a piece of rubber has gone up to though!

Remember that if you buy any tires that get shipped to you that you must pay to have them mounted and balanced. Add that into the price.

High prices for tires can be partially blames on current US (China) trade policy . You can thank the unions.

Rutgers University economist Thomas J. Prusa, who testified before the ITC on behalf of importers, said it is unrealistic to think tariffs lasting three years would spur domestic investment in tire manufacturing. More likely, more tires would be imported from other low-cost producers, he said.

Mr. Prusa said tariffs could cost 25,000 U.S. jobs and force consumers to spend $600 million to $700 million more a year on tires. The ITC doesn't calculate tariffs' economic impact when studying complaints -- something the administration is sure to do.

"By taking this unprecedented action, the Obama administration is now at odds with its own public statements about refraining from increasing tariffs above current levels," Mr. DeIorio said. "This decision will cost many more American jobs than it will create. It will also increase costs for, and take away choices from, American consumers."

rotation is free at major shops, if not why pay someone to change tires

I don't think it is free if you bring in 4 raw tires you didn't buy from the shop, and say put'em on !

Unmounted tires will cost you to be put on rims unless you Buy from the shop and its a promotional tool or know someone who owns a tire changer.

Coop, that's some sick shit there......

I have looked a few places...My Tires go anywhere from $249, to as low as $156 ( Tire Rack ) Which looks like I will be ordering from
They charge like $10 Shipping per tire....Which really isn't bad
And it takes only One day !!

Funny part is, they Tell you where to go ..to get them put on.
One of the places is where I have got my tires in the Past.

The Guy will be a little pissed ( since I've been going to him for 8 years )
But HEY ! I'm going to save some money here !

Depending on Size of the tire......Places around me charge $15-$25 PER Tire, if you bring them in from the Outside.

Which is what it will cost me when i order mine.

Yea , Im running 255 35 r18's on the rear and 245 35 r18s on the front. I have to have mine put on at a custom shop as my rims are 18" deep dish and they are the only ones I know who wont scratch the chrome lips on them.
