Oops! I just bought Hankooks but 17's. Probably the same ones from your dealer. But I paid 540.00 for the set; I will say; my dealer gave me estimate for tires about six months ago: 1,300 bucks probably same ones 
I am planning on buying summer wheels and tires...probably go with something extreme summer. I like Goodyear F1's design.
My stock Yokos went 61K+ miles when people on here were complaining they were lasting 30-40K. Top it off, I didn't even rotate them like I should of.

i just got my 4 tires replaced..guess what? didn't end up with Yoko...coz nobody can get it in Socal on Saturday...weird..!,.but ended up Nitto NT 555...at least now i can see the tires are wraping around the rims..not like last one where the rims stick out on the side wall of the tiresn scatch all the times...now besides it gonna protect the rim's side wall n look more aggresive without going from 225 to 235 which gonna rub my fender on 19's...be careful with Hankook..it tend to seperate on side wall n crack...u wouldn't notice as it crack on the side that facing into ur car...if it blow in high speed..that's disaster..

Ugh, that sucks.
I know what you mean when you say no Christmas present to yourself.
Just got a flat last week. The tire had about 21K on it. Stupid construction nails!
Oh and that spare tire is ridiculous looking BTW for anyone who hasn't seen it before (like myself). lol
