I am selling some 17" tyres and someone is interested in them- I have to send them though. I have no idea on how to do this.
What is the best way of packing them?
What does each tyre weigh roughly?
Etc

Many thanks!

Got any bathroom scales?

Weigh them, then put the dimensions and weights into www.parcelmonkey.com.

I've had very good service on a number of occasions posting motorbike and car tyres smile

Don't bother wrapping them up, just tape 2 tyres together and send as 2 parcels, most tyre suppliers don't wrap them in anything, just stick the labels to the tyres smile
