All the recommended installers for this area, from Tire Rack's own web site, are at least $15 each for mounting and balancing, not including the valve stems, which are an additional $1-3 each. The average is over $20, and some are as high as $30 per tire! Add on about $9 shipping per tire, and that makes each tire about $30 more than the actual selling price.
A quick computation using the Yokohama AVS ES100 shows a savings of no more than $66 best case, and worst case I actually lose $8 ordering from Tire Rack. And that's a more expensive tire than I would normally get.
You don't have to tell me we're getting ripped off in this area, it's pretty evident to most folks. But what can you do when everyone charges the same high prices? I'm planning to move, myself. :)
