shipping 26" tires

[Petrohead]

Anyone know an approximate cost shipping 26" tires through the mail? Is the best way to just wrap em' or box em'? Thanks!

usually they just staple enough cardboard around em to slap the sticker on, or wad em up and jam em in the box w/ whatever else you ordered :roll:

Yeah, I am getting ready to sell a bunch of vintage tires and need a somewhat accurate way to estimate shipping. Thanks for your response

I made the mistake of sending those Felt Berm Master tires through the USPS last week...cost me $26. :shock:

I put one tire inside of the other and then I wrapped Wal-Mart bags around them and then I took some USPS Priority Mail tape and completely wrapped the tires so it looked like a big mummified donut.

I checked the measurements with FedEx when I got home and their site quoted me $11 for the same dimensions.

Forgot to ask what other tires you got?

Thanks, Joe

places ive ordered from usually twist them into a figure 8 and fold them in half and stuff them in a box and it still ends up costing around $10-15 to get them, so far i prefer getting tires using Steve's method the best

I'm not sure I'd risk twisting vintage or nos tires, especially if they are high dollar ones.
