Default how much do you pay for tires?

Its time to buy another set of tires again - mine seem to only last a little over a year, and they're not cheap. This next set of Yokohama AVS Sport RFs will run me $1222 before installation. How much does everyone else pay?

~$40 shipping from tirerack

If anyone can hook me up with those tires for less that would be cool too

Last time I did tires, Falken FK-451 205/50-16 x 4 = ~320 shipped
Then by the time it was mounted and balances, about 400.

God damn those things are expensive... I haven't bought new tires yet, but $125/tire is my limit.

Wouldn't a year's membership of AAA be cheaper than buying run-flats? Then you could just buy regular tires, be covered if you get a flat, and save money.
