First off, not all tire shops are the same, some caters to daily drivers and some caters to enthusiasts and the price they charge reflects that. Quality of work will not change if you throw them an extra $20 as they change few hundred tires a day.

In this economy, throwing cash in people's face might make you look arrogant and he'll probably add a few extra scratch on the wheels just because you're special.
