Tire exchange at the dealer?

Hey guys, I've been doing quite a lot of reasearch over the past week trying to configure what I would like on my Tundra. I am about to purchase one this next week. I have decided to go with the 305 tires on a Limited Tundra.

My ?, and it probably will seem like a stupid one

If you purchase the 20 inch wheels and want to change the tires they normally come with for the 305s do the dealers usually give you a break in the price in exhange for the 305s or do they just add it on and make the purchaser sell the tires later. I guess anything is negotiable but I was curious if this was a routine thing before I started to seriously negotiate with the dealership.
Thanks

My guess is that they would show you a credit, but seriously jack up the price of the larger tires to compensate for it. Do some research on the brand of tires you are wanting and then take that with you and of course add in for the mounting and balancing.

they will ultimately screw you in some other form. They will charge you too much for the new rubber.

Your better off selling the new tires that are on the truck on Craigslist or something and buying your tires from discount tire or firestone or something
