It's definitely worthwhile shopping around for good deals on the round parts!
He is running top shelf tires, kind of like buying performance tires for a car. One of the guys hat work has a Nissan 350Z his tires are in the $600 a piece range, my Nissan I can get all four for that price.
I did a quick check on the last set of Schwalbe tires I purchased and they were just over $100 for the pair. I full expect them to last for over 10,000 miles of riding which would be roughly two years based on my previous car free living. Given my current mileage those tires may just last me until I retire in 10 years
