Tyre shipping costs ?

[blackscooby]

Bit of a random thread, but I'm looking at buying some motorsport tyres from ebay, however the seller says pickup only. The location means I can't pick up, but I'll arrange transit.

Anyone any ideas on how much it costs to ship tyres ?
Will be a set of 6 (yes 6.. strange I know).

Thanks

I've shipped sets of 4 and 5 alloy rims with tyres attached, and it's cost me about £25-£30; so I can't see it costing more than that...

I've used this guy:

and have always found DHL at my doorstep (I think he has a bulk agreement with them); based on him prices, I'd say about £32 for the 6 tyres...

You can band them together in pairs and send them Royal Mail for about £11 / pair. As you have 6 a courier will probably be cheaper

I'm meant to be going to Ockham tomorrow night, but sadly not due to visit North Yorks. in the foreseeable future!
