I shipped a set of 4 tires a couple years ago. Cost was about $94 to ship all 4 from So Cal to Oklahoma. Sent them in 2 packages, each pair of tires taped together and wrapped in cardboard. They were well-preserved 45-year old tires and I didn't want to just tape them together.

Some shippers charge extra if they're not packaged in cardboard (had that issue with UPS once) so be sure to check.

Used my FedEx account, they picked them up at my home. Pickup is about $3 extra, well-worth it for something large or heavy.
