I just ordered four tires from Diamondback located in South Carolina, shipping to NW Ohio...$140 FED-X Ground. Cost must be in the weight of the rims.

The price difference might be in the packaging. Typically tires aren't shipped in a box, since they really don't need to be protected. Whereas, tires and rims need to be in a box, with packaging around them, so that they don't get banged up by stuff being thrown on top of them, etc.

YRC will ship terminal to terminal on a pallet very reasonably. I have used them several times for large items and they are traceable through their website.

I also saw that Fastenal has discontinued their East-West shipping. Some side effects of the blank blank better programs that are being put into place. Diesel fuel has put many trucks in the parking lot and profit versus price is an equation only for the big dogs and their friends. This is not the first time many of us saw this game. Remember the gas lines in the mid seventies?
