Yes, the US Postal Service does handle tires thru the mail. Cheapest and best way is Parcel Post rate (surface transportation anywhere in US, aka "third class") You can just tape a label to them by using much , much tape, as going round and round thru where the wheel goes. I mean clear, 2 inch wide tape, covering the entire label. Might even take your roll of tape to the post office and after postage, whether stamps or a postage meter strip, is affixed, add more tape covering the postage, so it doesn't fall off. Be sure your return address is well attached just in case something happens and you get them back. (No return address label means you might never see them again if wrong address,etc.) If they should come back, if mailing parcel post, you'll have to pay postage both ways. You could also mail them Priority rate or First class for more money and return postage is included. Believe me, they'll get some rough handling, but no need to box them up. just have them fairly clean if they are used tires. Hope this helps, and don't take "No" from any small town postmaster, or window clerk in a bigger town/city. Also, it will take a while for them to arrive at their destination if going by surface mail.
