Shop around, give costco a try and other places.

More like grand theft auto

Definitely look into Costco if you have membership. If not, buy it online and have it installed at any shop. Most have the machine for it.

Depends on the run flats. Tire Rack sells the Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT 225/45R18 for $275 apiece. If $320 is your price out the door, that might not be so bad to avoid the hassle of getting the tires to the shop.

OTOH, I saved big bucks when I needed two new rear tires with three months left on my lease. My local shop only charges $18 to mount and balance, and the tires I needed were on sale.

Of course, that assumes you're set on the OEM tires. I had to have them because I was returning a leased car in a couple of months.

EDIT:

They're $315.99 apiece at Costco, plus $15 per tire to mount & balance, plus a $2.99 "TPS service fee" for each tire. That's $667.96 for the pair... or about thirty bucks more than the dealer.

Well you have a 335i MSport so they probably quoted you the price for a pair of Continentals or Bridgestone summer tires? And they're probably your rear tires?

If so, that price could be reasonable. As in, you might be paying about $100 for the convenience of getting it done at the dealership.

In essence, it could be reasonble. We just need to know exactly what brand model and size tires you're talking about.

The OP said they were front tires.

See my post above. If they're the front OEM Bridgestones used on M Sport packages, the dealer is cheaper than Costco.
