How do you ship tires? Do you need a box?
This is a really stupid question, but will the UPS counter workers look at me like I am insane if I just tape the shipping sticker to the tire with no box? I can't see the purpose in boxing a tire. Have any of you shipped tires before? Box or no box?

And then... don't know UPS's rules... could be your tire won't be insured if it's not boxed.

Sold my SE wheels to an org member about six months ago. UPS WILL NOT ALLOW shipment of tires like that. Again, UPS NOT ALLOW shipment of tires like that. I used a piece of cardboard around the sides and use lots of clear tape(industrial strength) and they demande that I buy boxes from them amd use them to ship the tires. I beleive that I have received tire through FEDEX like that though. You might want to check them out.

Since I am a Contractor for FEDEX GRound, Yes you can ship tires by just taping the tracking label and address label to them. Sometimes you might get hit with an "incompatible pkge. " charge, but if you just take them to any fedex facility , they can be shipped. Wheels are a different story. This applies for FEDEX GROUND shipments .
