Call up your local Bridgestone they should be able to give you a price. My local place charged me 161$ fitted and balanced for 195/55/15R.

Vehicle: 2005 Type S
Tyres: Dunlop Sport MAXX
Size: 225/45/R17
Cost: approx $300 fitted (a corner)
Mileage of tyres: 4000klms
Previous tyres: OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE050 (215/45/R17)
Comments: Really good grip, wet & dry performs well with spirited driving in dry. Although its rated better than the stock RE050's, from memory the RE050's tended to handle a tiny bit better. I managed to get 40,000 kms from the RE050. However, the Dunlops are rated to have a better life. Noise wise, it sounds pretty noisy, but a little music gets rid of that. Also, everything is stock, no after-market suspension. Went with the 225 instead of 215 as they were the same price at the time. Thought it would give me an extra advantage, being wider. Overall I would recommend it for the daily enthusiast.

No Mate, but ive got the RT215's and they are great. I dont regret them for a second, but they are quite noisy

Vehicle: 2002 dc5r
Tyres: Bridgestone Potenza RE070
Size: 225/45/17
Cost: $370 per corner
Mileage of tyres: 4000km
Previous tyres: OEM RE030?
Comments: Very stiff sidewall, excellent dry grip. Wet performance not so good. Quite noisy, but very grippy tyre.

Vehicle: 2004 dc5r
Tyres: Bridgestone Adrenalin Potenza RE001
Size: 225/45/17
Cost: $272 per corner
Mileage of tyres: 2000km
Previous tyres: Bridgestone S03
Comments: Good grip, fantastic in the wet, more progressive than the S03's, not sure if the RE001's grip quite as well, but could just be my imagination.

Vehicle 2000 DC2R
Tyres Bridgesteone Potenze RE001 Adrenalin
Comments: Excellent grip. A tad noisy... But small price to pay. Not too happy with wet performance but got nothing to compare it too.

I guess its just the car....

I just tried out fresh Toyo R888's GG's at wakefield. IMO they are crap! They don't get heat into them, and way to squirmish. I'm going to have to try Advans or Direzza's
