You'll likely pay 40 bucks a tire to have them shipped. I expect to pay 50 bucks a tire if I get some from Tire rack shipped up here from Arizona. Fedex and ups have free freight calculators.
The cheaper ones could be second line tires with slight blemishes too.
And the prices are largely dictated by how many tires the dealer sells. They have categories. From single jobber up to mega-mega jobber. A place that sells 100,000 tires a year buys them from the manufacturer for 1/4 the price that a place that sells 1000 tires a year.
