I don't hate Jegs, but I usually prefer to buy my tires from whomever is going to mount them (unless the online price is a SUPER deal). If there is a problem with a tire, they will be more likely to work with me to resolve it.
A suburb 45 minutes north of Dallas - Denton, McKinney??? Both have over a dozen BFG dealers nearby - WalMart, Pep Boys, Discount Tire, etc...
Most of these places have websites and you can shop online just like Jegs. Or there is a new invention called the telephone where you can actually talk to someone without leaving your house...
Having said that, I will be ordering tires for myself from Tirerack in the near future. Why? Because my grandson works for Continental and he is allowed 3 sets of Continental or General tires per year on his employee discount - which will save me about $400.00 over the price I can buy them for locally. I can have them shipped to me for $60.00 or I can drive 100 miles to their distribution center and pick them up.
I routinely drive that far to go to NFL, MLB and NHL games (I have season tickets for 2 of the 3). I don't think 100 miles is a big deal - but would like 45 miles better...
