That's reasonable I think. How toast were they? My dealer charges extra $20 or $30 per wheel for mounting if the tires are bought someplace else, somewhat negating buying on line. They will come down some on tires but won't match verbatim.
Not toasted yet, but I'm not comfortable setting out on the rally with my back tire in the condition it's in. It took some rapid wear last weekend and I'm going out again this weekend. Wear bars are starting to show.
Last time I order the tires myself and brought them in strapped to the back of the bike. No up charge for BYOT. I think the guy ordered the tires from straight from Revzilla.

They've been great for where and how I ride. Daily commute is about 10 miles of country roads (complete with gravel patches) and 25 miles of super slab highway.
The rear didn't lose its profile as quickly as the stock and I can't hear anything but the wind out on the highway. I have noticed a difference in their sound occasionally through sweeping turns. I think what I'm hearing is the transition from one compound to another. It's subtle, but I can hear it.
