OEM tires on OEM wheels?
$75 for all 4 corners is the most you should ever pay for M&B
$200 per tire is about what you should be paying give or take $50

You may also need to factor in the price of mounting and balancing, too.
I bought a new set of rear OEM tires last summer. Ron Tonkin met the Tire Rack price and quoted $50 per tire for mounting and balancing. However, they had a lot of trouble mounting the tires on my custom wheels and said next time they would have to charge $100 per wheel.

I have dropped off sets of S2000 wheels and replacement tires at America's Tire and they have been great (OEM and aftermarket). I would not trust them with the car, but for wheels and tires they are fine and cost me about $80 for all 4.
Thanks,

My bad. I went back and looked at the invoice. It was $47.85 to mount and balance the pair. So they were talking about $100 for the pair next time.
I know they had a great deal of trouble stretching the OEM tire to fit the rims. Not sure why. Maybe it was a new guy as I don't remember a problem when I had them installed the first time.

Obviously it's different for me having "little" AP1 rims, but my T1Rs ran about $150ish per tire (give or take considering the stagger) and the mounting was about $75 total at Schwabs
$700ish total for the whole set all around.
