FYI: For anyone wanting to ship wheels...DON'T!
I just went down to ship wheels..well, I THOUGHT they were only 45lbs...they turned out to be 78lbs!!
 So, shipping for a standard set of wheels = $150! :Eek: If I could beat my head on a wall right now, I would. |

Maybe you should either package different or try a different company. I used fed ex a couple months ago and only paid $72

Are you talking about your 212's? If so those wheels only weigh 25lbs each and I don't see a tire weighing 53lbs.

It was my 32x11½x15 tires mounted on a pair of 15x8" rims. I GUESSTIMATED they were about 50lbs..but they're near 80lb's!
No, I used the CHEAPEST fed-ex shipping method possible. They went from CA to OK.

My 20 with 305/50/20 tire weighs 80 lbs right on the money. That's alot of tire you have there too. That's about right on the price.
