Im gonna say yeah as well. Those tires combined retail for $514 at DTD. Which means they charged an extra $163 for mount and balance. Again DTD charged me $23.50 to mount per wheel, and $15 to balance per wheel. That was a year ago.
Still, using those prices it should've cost apprx $591. $86 bux difference.

Tirerack lists the tires for $242, each . .
So: $242 x 2 = $484.00 for tires,
$484.00 tires
$6 valves
$60 mount and balance
$2 tire disposal
$40 tax
=??
$592.00 as a best guess . . .
So no I do not think you got ripped off. There is usually a premium charge to mount 18" tires.

677 and 592 is still a pretty big difference...and with more cars, trucks, and suv nowadays..anything up to a 20 inch is pretty much standard..the dub sizes is where they start really charging...18-20's are rather common nowadays
