Are these prices ok ?

I don't know about the others, but I think the Michelins are priced a bit higher than normal. I bought 205/50 R15 Pilot Precedas 2 months back. I paid 5250.00 per tyre (I bought 4). I did buy alloy wheels with them, and I prolly got a combined discount (more money off the alloys than the tyres), but the dealer showed me a price list that he said was the dealer price. In that list, my Pilot Precedas were listed at 5600/- if I remember right.
Now, what I'm getting to is this: my tyres are wider, and have a lower profile than the config you've mentioned, so my tyres should be more expensive, right? But you have been quoted 6100/- (as against the 5250/- I paid) which I guess is real steep (or I got a sweeeeeeeeet deal). I think I was quoted 5100/- (first quote, before the bargaining) for Pilot Preceda 195/60 R14s (I went to the shop with a 14" upsize in mind), but I'm not too sure about that.
