..what do you guys pay for 4 Toyo R1R 225/45-15 mounted and balanced? (including hook-ups, discounts whatever)
I got quoted €620,- (cheapest). That's about $915,-
Now you can all laugh on how we get raped for tires over here

Joe Schmoe with no special hookups can get 225/45-15 R1Rs for $125 ea, so $500/set plus shipping plus mount & balance. Toyo occasionally runs rebates that will save you $50-100 on a set.
The same place that has R1Rs for $125 has NT01s in the same size for $113. In other news, I need a tire trailer.

Say you went with Scott's price of $500 per set for the R1Rs. UPS, FedEx, and DHL quoted stupidly high international rates. I just shipped a set of tires through the US Postal Service to Texas since they are by far the cheapest (not considering Grayhound, which wasn't an option). Just glancing, their international rate would run $300 total for all 4 tires. That's $800 total for tires and shipping, excluding customs and all that fun stuff. Now if you can find the tires cheaper and find a cheaper shipping method, you'd be in even better shape. This is also considering that you are binding the tires in pairs as binding all 4 together causes an oversize issue.
