Default Good deal or ripped off?

A guy at a local Big O Tire shop quoted me a price on some Dunlop SP 9000's.

2 x 235 35 19 for $246 each
2 x 265 35 19 for $256 each

This is just the price for the tires. Doesn't include mounting and balancing or tax. Tirerack is cheaper but the salesman said they would charge about $40 to $50 extra to mount and balance the tires since I didn't buy them there. Am I going to get screwed or is this pretty typical?

That's what I thought. I'm going to have to call Discount and see what they can do for me. I did call another place here and they quoted me $1050 for all 4 tires mounted and balanced so that might be the way to go. This shop does alot of larger rims so they might be a little more experienced. I'm worried about the rims getting scratched.
