Default C6+Z52 Tires question

Hi,
I had a question on tires replacement for my 2006 corvette.I got a quote from chevy dealership that the tires replacement is going to cost me $2060 which included both front and rear tires.I however feel that this is overpriced.Can the gurus here pls advise.Also would any of you know a tyre shop for the vettes here in the SF bay area.The tires on my current vette are runflats
eagle F1 tyres
front:P245/40 ZR18
Rear:P285/35 ZR19

Thanks again and wish you all a very happy x'mas and new years.

Hi,
Thanks Timd38 and Patton for your quick replies.I know that the 2060 includes the alignment but not sure if road hazard is included.
Also any idea on how much would the alignment cost me if I get the tires online?

Thanks again..
