i've had the most luck sending through fedex (they tend to have good rates for oversized stuff). Also, it's generally cheaper to ship them in 2 pairs instead of 4 individual tires. just tape the 2 tires (very well) together and slap a label on them. Always buy the extra insurance up to the value you'd want to be paid if they were lost or damaged. the insurance is usually very cheap, and totally worth the peace of mind. if you're selling them, have the recipient's name listed as the primary for the shipping insurance, and make sure the insurance covers the sale price plus the cost of shipping, so that if something happens you don't have to be involved... the recipient can just collect straight from fedex. if you ship enough tires, eventually you're going to have a package that doesn't make it.
