How to ship 2 Pirelli rear tires - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Thank you for all your responses. I took one tire today to UPS and then to USPS. UPS was a rip off. They wanted $169.84 to ship from MA to Alabama or Georgia. Check out their quote below. I then went to USPS and they quoted $75 to the same two locations. if I strap them together and send as a unit.

I have two Pirellis 275/40/20 tires for sale ( see post below). I tried to get a local buyer but had no luck. I have received interest but it requires me to ship. I have a couple of questions for anyone who has done this successfully :

1. What carrier should I use ? I was thinking UPS.

2. How do I wrap the tires? Do I have to completely seal the tires in cellophane or paper wrap or something like that?

3. I assume I need to tether the two tires together so they don't get separated right?

Any other advice very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Ups just ship the tires seperate just how they are. No box or wrap.

May I suggest getting some of that plastic cling/shipping wrap? Tires cant be damaged by dropping etc, so its just a case of wrapping them and slapping a label on.

Here is what I did, I paid $50 for each set through ups. Box tape wrapped 3-4 times with the outside in. Arrived without issue.

I need 2 rears, pm me what you have.

I shipped 2 of the same size using the Post Office no wrapping was half the cost of UPS or Fed ex
