tire shipping
anyone have any clue how to do something like shipping for a large (37x12.5) offroad tire? I expect it to be pricey, but trying to use freight tools, I'm looking at numbers in the thousands. Any advice would be awesome!

Mostly goes by weight. I was looking into shipping some wheels and I was getting prices equal to weight. 50lbs cost about $50 to ship. Probably going to be at least $400-$500 to ship 5 37" tires.

tirerack.com is cheap, but shipping to a commercial address would have only saved me $2 a tire. I had 5 35's shipped for $150 from them. They ended up coming UPS. The driver just backed into my driveway and he rolled them out at me.

UShip
I recommend you check out UShip on the web. I sent 5 tires from Jaksonville, FL to Corpus Christi, TX, and $147.95 was the cost. Potental shippers will compete with bids, and you select the best.
