I just did this, and I found out that when shipping something not in a box
(i.e. bare tires) via UPS, there is a $8/parcel handling surcharge. I'm
guessing that is why Tire Rack ships two tires banded together. Anyway, I
ended up putting 2 tires in a box and it ended up costing me about $60 (for
UPS charges and 2 boxes) to ship 4 used tires.
