These are awesome tires and I NEED to get them gone. Make an offer but shipping is crazy high, best deal is to pick them up. But I'll do whatever you want! Thanks.

Have you checked shipping cost ? If you shrink wrap them individuality and place a label on each, they should ship for about $25.

Good advice. What shipper do you suggest?

![]() You'd need to have the dimensions, weight and from zip to get estimates from the big 3. If shipping across the country, I had a 1938 hood shipped via Greyhound, and it took a while, but was more reasonably priced. Fastenal could be a possibility, but they, usually, want all product strapped on a pallet and it would, most likely, cost a flat rate pallet charge of $100-150. Still, about the same as $25-30 each.

I bought 4 brand new F70-14 Tires from Summit recently.All four were delivered to my front door individually w/o any protective wrapping on any off them whatsoever by UPS.Just a shipping decal on the tread of each.
I asked the delivery man if this is the norm and he told me it is for tires,"they're durable". They were fine,no scratches or damage of any kind,and believe me,I checked each one. Summit sold them to me with FREE shipping. |

Fastenal 3PL does not ship LTL outside of either quadrant right now due to Covid. So you cannot ship east to west or vice versa. I also don't think either of the light carriers or couriers will touch a tire for less than about $60 each at best.
I buy from Summit because they get phenomenal rates and because they eat the shipping (even to Canada). They strap tires and together on the smaller sizes and wrap them in tape usually. Paying to ship tires on your own, however, is a different set of cards.

I buy all my dd tires from Discount Tire Direct and they strap 2 together for shipping. At $60 each for us to ship them, they must get a great rate, because they ship for free and the prices are always less than I can buy the tires for locally.
I bought a set of tires from Tire Rack last summer and they have a DC in Roseville, MN and gave me another $40 off to pick them up there. 60 mile rt to save $40....that's a no-brainer. Could put a shipping ad out on Uship and see if someone is traveling in your direction. I had my '66 Chevelle brought up from Pensacola to Stillwater, MN that way and saved a few hundred.
