does this sound good? 618.52 out the door price

Discount tire said 618.52 out the door price for some 235/40/18 kumho ASX tires mounted and balanced on my new rims. I have heard some good stories and some ehh not really good stories bout them. They say its free rotation and balancing for the life of the tires and they have a pro-rated warranty (depending on treadlife if i blow them up they will reimburse me). They also say they will beat any price and go lower. he said if someone offers 600 out the door they would probably do it for 580 or less.

Does anyone have any comments on this place?? Or maybe a place that i havent tried that might have a cheaper price that i could use against them?

Hope this isn't coming too late...

I haven't run the ASX but, if they're made of a similar compound to that of the Kumho Ecsta 716, the treadlife will be really bad...

Not a bad deal it seems. But I don't think it's as good a deal as I have on a set of 235/40/18 Toyo Proxes 4's that I'm getting for $675. My tire guy also stands by the tires and gives me free rebalancing and rotation for the tire life. Plus, I'm getting what I think is a better tire.
