How practical is it to ship a tire (RR or LR)? Can you just fold it up and shrink wrap it? What is the cost for UPS ground? thanx

Yes, you can shrink wrap something and ship it via UPS. You can go to www.ups.com and input the weight plus starting and ending zip codes to get a rate quote. I will guess that it would be in the $20 range if shipped ground if my guess of 25 pounds is close once you get it wrapped tight.

Work at UPS and yes you can ship tires. Best way is to collapse them down and wrap packaging tape around tire(s) at 3 places to keep them collapsed. Them get them to UPS.

It would be cheaper to ship it thru the US Postal System than UPS...UPS is outa control & raising the rates beginning 1/1/2011.

Amen to that last post...
I wanted ship an RC 1/4 scale sprintcar from the USA to Australia. UPS came back with a quote of US$ 600/700. Had it sent New Jersey to Sydney by US Post , with reasonable insurance for less than US$200..... Forget UPS!
OH.. and BTW.... this was 16 months ago.
