What's the best way to post a pair of wire bead tyres? Do you need to box them up or stick them in a big polythene bag or just tape them together? I'm guessing with the bulk they would be quite expensive to post.

twist them into a 8 and fold.

Standard parcels is the way to go. As long as they fit the max size criteria it's all down to the weight. A couple of bin bags will do for packaging and keeps the weight down. Max dims are 1.5 m long and a girth of less than 3m. Up to 2 Kg is £4.41, up to 4 Kg is £ 7.06.

Yeah I did this when I had to post some DH Highrollers. Then wrapped them in bubble wrap and stuck them in a couple of bin bags followed by copious amounts of packing tape; it was like a bloody football by the time I'd finished…complete PITA

I once received some tyres from a shop & they had just wrapped clingfilm round, a bit of parcel tape, the address label & bob's your weird auntie.

Kinda spoilt the suprise, but they arrived OK.
