Let me know if thats accurate. I just did an online quote and they want like $30 a tire. But that is based on package dims of 25x25x10. Maybe since they know its a tire, an online quote isnt accurate?

I just made a trip to fedex...
I picked a random zip code in downtown Chicago IL ... they quoted me almost $38 for 1 tire.
The 19" tire weighed 27 pounds.

^ thats the cheapest they said there is.
ofcourse size and weight of the tires and location of shipment matter.... but I just wanted a ball-park nbr, which sounds about right.

i will check USPS hopefully sometime soon. im curious now.
