Prices I've compared them have just been over the phone with 1 listed dealer of each brand I mentioned, even a casual pass via SnR for Yokohama.
If you are buying the tire in twos, you'd be slightly lower than Yokohamas (if you are doing cash price direct with Yokohama Philippine Distributors), but I don't think lower than some Dunlops.
EDIT : To note, I've been using Federal since about 2010 for some vehicles and they were practical and cheap back then til around 2016. But they've raised it too much in my opinion. I used to use their tires for a subcompact, AUV and L300. But I won't anymore with their current pricing strategy.
Hope this helps in other people trying to find practical options.
