Holy crap $350/ tire
My dealer told me what it would cost to buy new tires - either 220 or 350 for toyo or bridgestone respectively (I'm pretty sure those were the 2 brands).
Is that just crazy expensive or should I suck up $1400 when the time comes?
Are there better deals on the net somewhere? I don't mind paying a little extra for quality rubber.

Most dealers will beat the price you get from someone else. Make sure price encludes mounting and ballanceing. If dealer wont beat price, get them somewhere else but make sure they wont screw up your TPMS when they mount them(ie are they experanced?).NOTE: In your area heat rating is important.

uhh check tirerack.com or costco.com (if you are a member) my KDW's were $180 per tire includes road hazard insurance and lifetime free rotation/balance. I got it at Costco.
