So, did you shell out all those clams, or not? ;o) That's a crazy price!
Now, on the other hand, one has to respect that if a dealer goes out of their way to locate a tire for you, who's in a pinch, and do it on short notice then they've every right to charge for this service to you (note that you do not HAVE to buy from them, either; that's YOUR choice = power). As ckpaden pointed out, add to that a reasonable charge to mount it (also fit you in to their schedule short notice, regardless of it being a quickie it still takes their time). If let's say the tire cost's $100 at a local tire shop + $10 to mount and balance, then essentially the dealer doubled what might be charged at a local tire shop. Obscene price IMHO, yeah. But you the consumer has to decide whether it's worth $235 to have it NOW (like, if you're on vacation with 4 screaming kides and a cross wife) or worth 3-4days of waiting to have it at $90+mounting from TireRack; you only got F'ed if you overspent without needing it right now ;o)
"85 900S 187k *hehe, try getting a replacement Hakka 1 in small-midwest-town-usa on short notice for any price... forget it. (Well, until found Greer in MKE anyway)
