It cost more to ship ($250 or so) but by finding a discount shipper I saved over $100 vs. FedEx or UPS directly (which was a hoot because the discounter used FedEx).

I can't figure out how the big sellers ship tires for shipping included!

Fortunately I found a replacement for the one rear toe shredded tire for about $100.

So 201.50+250+100=551.5 for a full set of rims and Dunlop Winter tires was an incredible deal.

The seller included the original receipt of $3600 in the sale.
