I can do either way, also. I'm about 20 miles from all that,too. Same for FedEx and UPS. We have a local UPS in town but he jacks the prices too much. Let me check quotes on wheel alone and w/tire mounted. Might be optimistic on the tire shipping cost. I just know once off the rim it will never get used. It's pretty cool. It's a Montgomery Wards 10.00-16.5 straight tread bias ply in excellent condition. The tire you buy today will have checks in it sooner than this tire. What did they ever do to rubber? I guess now that they date them it's ok if they rot away as long as it's after the "fresh" date.
