Egads! I have always ordered my tires from TireRack and had them delivered to the installer of my choice for 1/2 that price. Check out the General G-Max AS-03. $602 + around $50 to ship.

I've had tires installed @ Firestone and a local Honda dealership and they both charged me $15 a tire w/ balancing.

Now if you want really cheap tires, just go here: http://simpletire.com/
They deal with many of the cheaper off brands that should more than meet your needs for the amount of driving you do.
