Box them up as small as possible. Are they new ? Some guys just wrap them in plastic bags and send that way. I would also think one of the shippers like bike flights or ship bikes would give you best price. Some guys will twist them into smaller box. I have received tires twisted and have had no problems. I prefer no twist but again you will get both sides of the argument. Good luck

I'm shipping a pair of Carlisle studded tread tires. I wrapped brown paper around them and wrapped with blue masking tape. I could have twisted them, but that's too risky to have them twisted up for days. I'm thinking FedEx? Any experience with best rates for tires with no box?

I WOULD AGREE! WHEN I SOLD A VALUABLE SET OF TIRES, I JUST GOT A BIG BOX TO LAY THEM FLAT.
AND ALSO EVEN A SINGLE TIRE I SHIPPED THE SAME WAY.
I HAVE A 1933-35 ORIGINAL FISK NEOPRENE "CLAY COLOR" TIRE THAT I WOULD NOT CONSIDER SHIPPING
ANY OTHER WAY. I ALSO HAVE A PAIR OF '33-'35 DOUBLE DROP CENTER RIMS I WOULD CONSIDER SELLING AS
A PACKAGE. I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING JUST THE RIGHT BOXES FOR THEM SHIPPING LIKEWISE.

I ended up making a box to ship and went with UPS ground which was the cheapest.

Use the same method used for coiling band saw blades, no folding of the wire bead, just a continous coil. Takes a bit of practice but it works. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...323AE0C40A8C37FB72E6323&view=detail&FORM=VIRE
