Tyre couriers

Any recommendations for couriers for tyres? Also, are you expected to wrap anything?

Can't recommend a courier but i sent a tyre via courier once and i used pallet wrap not sure if it protected the tyre but it made it easier to stick the labels on :thumbsup:

www.paiselyfreight. I have used before. Simple. Well priced and easy to use.

Only company I have experience of though, so not a comprehensive review

Are you sending or receiving?

I sent two 17 inch tryes only via them two weeks ago. Think it was £17.50, from memory. Instructions on their site about packaging. I just parcel taped them together at three points and stuck the labels on. Worked fine :thumbsup:

Thanks for that.

Now just need to decide to sell the tyres together or list them independently.

They are Michelin MXV4s, not for the Z and not RFT.

They were from my X5 that I just sold.
