That's the easiest way! Fedex will be the cheaper route to take.

I've sent and bought tires the same way as described above. No need to be fancy and package them up. The last ones I sold went to AZ from here in NC. UPS charged me $125 for a 'set of 4' covering that long distance. I imagine it would be about $60 or so for two tires unless the distance is even greater.
