What is Normal Tire Cost

I bought a set of American Elites for $359.00. I have a local shop install them for $20.00 each if I bring the wheels in. It's not a big deal to remove and replace the wheels with a J&S jack. Spend a little on a quality jack and a service manual and save yourself some $$$$$
Thanks guys for all your suggestions, HD already got enough of my money..

Yep, just ordered a front and rear Dunlop American Elite for my 2011 Ultra from Jake Wilson. $315.98 and it was at my door in three days! Plus I'll be getting an additional $50 rebate from Dunlop.
I have a NoMar tire changer (Jr Pro), so installation is done at my convenience.

I just paid $600 for a set of D408/D407 Dunlops to be installed. Next time I'm going to pull the wheel and just have the tire installed. My dealership said they'd mount the tire no problem.

Did the same thing a while back, next thing I knew I was in the tire business, freinds of freinds were calling and stopping by my house.
Sold all the stuff including my custom made bead breaker and now I just take it to the local indy and have him call me when it's ready.
The local dealer is not a viable option, these folks think way more of their skills than I do.
