I was just curious on the mark up on tires, especially tires like Hoosiers, Kuhmos, and Goodyear racing tires. I am sure its nothing like electronics or jewelry.

I don't know what the dealers get the OEM tires for, but I know they're STUPID expensive in comparison to some of the best types we carried.... IOW I'm sure the markup is totally insane on those... I'm not sure if it's due to the OEM style (The Goodyear Eagle GS-Cs), or if it's just that tire... but I never was impressed with them at all, and they're over 200 a piece for a 245/45-16... IMHO, the two best tires for our cars in the 16 size are the G-Force T/As and the Michelin Pilot Sports (for street tires). I've found both of them for under 190 retail...
