No dealer is going to give you a "deal" on anything. Markup is markup is markup, and all of it is profit.
Just for yuks, I priced out sets of dealer-supplied snow tires for a 97 900 SET. The prices were between $800 and $1,100 mounted and balanced. I went to Sears, yes, Sears, and bought a set of four Michelin Arctic Alpins for $500. They're great tires, a bit noisy in the wet, but grip like champs. You can spend more for Gislaveds or Nokians, and you'll probably like those as well.
But there's absolutely NO reason to go to a dealer for anything other than warranty service.
