If it still won't work ... ahh you get the idea.

anyone know roughly the size and weight for shipping mini tires?

the UPS/FedEx estimation websites ask for dimensions and weight, but I was too preoccupied last night to measure those two simple things!

culttv: email sent last night from my home email, with photos and descriptions

all's I need now is to estimate shipping.....

Use Fed Ex for shipping.. I ship tires this way with them being shrink wrapped with no problems at all.

I have 3 half-worn (and a little bit unevenly worn) tires that I just replaced with new rubber (to celebrate an all-new suspension + 4 wheel alignment) that I was hanging on to, but with no clear plan for.

I guess I'd let them go for $20 each + postage.

Hopefully I can just wrap them in plastic wrap and ship without a box like the big tire companies do!

Sold my set of 165/70R12's , now i need a set of 60R12's. $89.99 each? Yeah right,like i can afford 4 of those.

If anyone has a set of 4 they want to sell,please let me know,part worn ok as long as they have more than half tread left on them and they are not old split rubber. Part worns would last me ages considering it only gets driven about 1000 miles per year if that !

Reply here or privately

Oh,and if I were to put only 2 new tires,should I do the front or the rears?
