I'm going to say it depends. Tire price is really all over the map. When I went to get new tires for the Prius, I looked at the Michelin energy saver which seems to be the best tire out there for FE. They were roughly $115/ea. I ended up going with the Bridgestone ecopia EP100s because they were pretty close to the energy savers but were only $80/ea. I didn't even look at normal tires to see how prices compare. I imagine most are close to the ecopia's price though.
