I shipped UPS, tie a pair together with cardboard on top and bottom and they
are good to go.

Subject: [MBZ] Winter tires/wheels
I found some snow tires mounted on BMW wheels for my car. I currently have
235/60/16 performance tires on my car. I found a set of nearly new Dunlop
winter tires mounted. They are 235/55/17. According to an online tire
diameter calculator I found that represents a difference of only .26% in
diameter. So, I think it will be okay to use these. So, here are my
questions:
Since the diameter of the tire is nearly identical, I guess that means its
not a problem to go up to 17 inch tires. Is that right?
Has anybody had tires and wheels shipped? The tires are 28 lbs each. I am
guess that the wheels weigh about 10 pounds each. So, that's about
150-160 lbs to ship. They are in Michigan and I am in Kansas. Just
wondering if anyone has any experience with this or suggestions for
economical shipping.
