Default How does discount tire ship?

Do they ship tires and wheels in a foolishly big box? Or do they ship on a skid? Only reason Im asking is the broker that I use will bring me a skid cross border for 30$ but a set of 5 big heavy boxes is going to be way way more expensive.

they could just tag the tires and ship them in no boxes...
Mine wheels and tires came front summit racing and they were shipped with pieces of cardboard covering the rim and the tire tagged..
UPS guy rolled them all down my driveway

I had mine shipped (wheels and tires mounted and balanced) from DTD and they also just had cardboard in between with some plastic strapping and tape to hold it on. Rolled them right off the truck!

It all depends on the size and weight of the packages. We do ship into Canada for free OP and we charge all the tariff fee's up front. This speeds up delivery time and ensures no further charges to you when your products arrive at your door.

Give us a call at 1.888.459.4080 for more details.

ive had DTD ship UPS ground on 33" KM2s wrapped in shrink wrap and on pallet via UPS freight for 35" KM2's. as DTD stated, it depends on the size and weight.
