Shipping race tires

Jim Hawkins · 04-21-2015, 01:06 AM

Has anyone here found a cheap way to ship tires? Pair of 13x31 tires UPS wants 90.00 per tire! Denver to Bristol TN. Has to be a cheaper way. Was told to check out U SHIP or Greyhound. Any ideas? Thanks.

Well it wasn't race tires but I had 4 new truck tires shipped to my house for $15.25 per tire, from Illinois to Washington state. FedEx.

If it's any help I shipped two M/T front runners from Cali to Bristol USPS last month and it was 40 Bucks. UPS and FedEx is Double.

It helps the crunch the tires flat, and secure them with shipping tape. UPS measures length, width, and height, by reducing any of those dimensions, the price is reduced.

also band the 2 tires together ---ship them as one package/item--- just looked up on my UPS estimate 50 pounds shipped ground takes 3 days if shipped today be there by Fri PM was $59---- how much do the tires weigh???---$90 per tire seems awfully expensive---- FED387
