Default Swapping my tires price

Hey just ordered my michelin super sports, got a quote from just tires for swapping them out, they told me $28 per tire for 17 inch, is that a reasonable price, will they have any trouble because it's a Lexus? Or is it same as other tires?

Price seems fair, normally its between 20-30 per tire. That price should include everything needed including the sensor kit.

Also, great tires, I cant wait to take off my winter set and put the super sports back on.

Sensor kit? Is that the same as the tpm s, since I'm only swapping the tires and keeping the same wheels I don't need tire pressure sensors rights?

Too high; as I posted in your other thread, try Discount Tire or America's Tire Company (same company, different name in different regions). Tell them you're a Michelin employee.

Price is too high just to swap out the tires. Go to TopSpeed on Archer between Ashland and Halsted. They changed out my snow tires back then for $15 each wheel and are careful with your wheels since they deal with aftermarket wheels all the time.

Yes I get you but that's pretty far from me, I got just tires down the block from me, so won't be worth going all the way there considering since I bought the car on sat I've been getting 14.5 mpg lol, drove about 125 miles so far on exactly half a tank, from full to half. Hooefully with summer tires and a little less heavy for it will be better. Because it was about 60 percent city 40 Highway.
