Shipping tires?

[greenjeep]

I found a good deal on a set of tires and wheels, the problem is, they're in Kentucky. Any ideas on the best/cheapest way to ship them here?

Thanks

Forward Air, hands down. Only thing is that you have to pick them up at the FA terminal, closest is probably the one in SLC.

Awhile ago I bought some retreads and they shipped for $15/tire to my door. I don't remember how they were shipped, but it might be worth looking into.

I don't like having to drive to the nearest metro airport (here it is Seattle). I use Estes Express to ship all of my axles, etc. They give me a nice discount and it usually doesn't cost much more than forward air. And they will deliver/pu here, I don't have to chase it down later. That to me is worht the cost savings...

Estes Express was like $450!!

Forward Air was $170 to SLC!!

Hey Wayne can you hook me up a discount on Estes?

We could probably do that and then you just pay me for shipping. My discount is 60%, so what's that like $270? I don't have a calc in front of me right now... This woudl need to be delivered to a business with a way to unload the truck (forklift or etc). If they need to deliver to a residence, it's another $150 and $75 for a liftgate? I don't use those services, so I don't know exactly what they are.. And they also won't discount them.

Ninja edit: Or, what are you buying, I could probably get you the same tires and wheels with free shipping
