Give the UPS or FedEx/Kinkos stores a call. As long as you have the weight and approximate size and say they are tires...they should be able to give you a rate.

are you shipping Boston to Cali? you don't need to wrap the tires, but you have to make sure the label sticks on real well; it's pry $25-30per tire. I had two 295/30/19 tires shipped from Cali to Miami and IIRC, it was $46, thru a fedex account.

You can go on-line with either UPS or FedEx and get a shipping charge. You need to know the weight and the size. Also, on FedEx use the ground shipping, not Express. Often the FedEx Ground is less than UPS.
