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.
