new tires needed

what is usually the cheapest place to get new tires for the 8? i have the stock 18" rims. Every place around here (discount tire, dealerships, mazda repair shop, and bel-tire) are all 160+ per tire. Perhaps that is the price I should expect to pay? Advice/Tips appreciated!

I just bought these Bridgestone S-03 Pole Positions from tirerack.com. They're on closeout for $129 per tire. This is the best deal I could find for the quality of tire.

I like them especially for the $$$. However, I'm still undecided if I like them as much or more than the Michelin Pilot Sports I had before. I wanna get a few more miles on them before I really test them out.
