Dealership will install tire no charge if I buy from them

I was quoted $328.00 + tax installed for a 19" Michelin PSS by our local dealer here in HNL. Seems like a pretty good deal!

Not a good deal...
If you call and tell them someone else is cheaper, they will drop it some as well.

Dealers in this area do not stock tires, they literally call Discount Tire down the street, buy tires from them at probably some negotiated rate, then turn around and markup the crap out of them to you. Some people just want a one-stop shop and are willing to pay a premium for it. I've never found a dealer's tire prices to be even remotely competitive to what you can find with just a little hunting (Discount Tire, Costco, Sears Auto, other local/regional tire shops, etc.)

OP.
If my dealer made me that offer I would take it and I imagine Honolulu isn't any cheaper that where I live. Local tire shops around here give very poor service. For me the dealer does the best and most careful work. I will pay extra for good work.

I am not sure if I am correct but I think all BMW dealers do Road Force balancing which costs more that regular balance.
