Tire shipping costs can vary widely.  Tires from Tire Rack cost about $8 
each to ship UPS.  Shortly after buying my Pantera I purchased a set of 
Pirelli P-7's from an individual and agreed to pay shipping.  He boxed them 
up rather than just sticking the mailing label to the tire like Tire Rack 
does.  Shipping bill - close to $100 for 4 tires!!!

Lesson: Do NOT box tires for shipping - stick a label on the tire.
