Probably have to box each tire individually..bring it to UPS store, they'll weigh it, and be like yeah $40 to ship each of these. lol

Yeah you can, you just wrap tape around it. No box needed.

You dont need boxes just some tape to stick a shipping label. If its a wheel or rim you want to box it if its without tires and put some cardboard on either side if its with tires to protect the rims.

Yeah no boxes needed at all just wrap them together with tape and put the sticker on the tires.

Everytime I get tires from Tirerack.com they are just straped together with the shipping label taped to the outside also.
