how, and where would i be able to find good long lasting tires on the cheap in dfw area or online thanks
Cheap and long lasting are oxymorons. You get one or the other, not both.
Depending on the size you are looking for no matter where you go you will have to pay for them. You want something with thread life still left on them but safe also? Sears runs good tire sales if you are looking for new ones. Also there is many uses tire shops likely in your area.
try the junk yards and tire shops. sometimes the junk yard will get a wreck in and sell the tires pretty cheap and the tire shops some people will run a set of tires for a little while then get new ones.
