4 tires for 105$ is it good?
4 Michelin Energy Tires size 205/55R16 with a speed rating of H. 2 of these tires have about 80% tread life left! 2 of them are about 65% tread life left. One of the tires were patchplugged by an automotive company which is a combination of a patch and a plug. I was assured it would last the life of the tire!
they guy wants 105$ for them, is he overpricing those tires? should i try to lowball him or its about the right price for something like that?

Usually $15 per tire. They rape you if you didn't buy the tires from whoever you are using to mount and balance.
