That's why I said you really have to shop around and see what fees are added to the cost of the tire. Most instances I find the cheaper advertised prices for the tires generally make up the difference (and then some) with additional fees and charges so the tire isn't really a "deal".

There have been some instances where I found it cheaper to just order the tires from a local shop, pay state tax on it, stop by and pick them up myself when they come in, and still saved money from the shipping and oversize fees. I found Sams club to be one example of this who handle the BFG's.

We don't have a Sams membership so no go there. Also we live in soccer mommy hell for our area where there are only quick lube joints and no other shops to go to order tires. The one's that are available are not friendly to gas and time costs due to the 267,000 square miles that is the size of the great state of Texas. I've tried that game before and lost.

I'm going to try Jegs and see what happens. I have about a month for them to get it right and so far there's no hint of extra charges unless they stick it to the order somewhere after I submit the order. If they do I'll e sure to come back and warn others about it.
