I need to get 4 18" tyres delivered to someone asap and im half way through booking when it states I need to put the tyres in individual boxes with labels on.

Question is where do I get these boxes from, asap?

Thanks.

P.S The cost of delivery is £28.50 should I get insurance on that at the cost of £20? Id rather not to be honest......

Thanks again.

Try a tyre place (Kwikfit) or a big dealer. I have a few kicking around I think as wheels come in them... or clingfilm thumb

Unless the wheels are very big I doubt you'll get 18" tyres in them. Cling film or black plastic bin liner bags taped together are probably your best bet.

I used parcel2go and just stuck a label on the tyre. Had no issues and I sent 2 of them with different couriers.

When I have had tyres delivered they have always just been wrapped in cling film equivalent, and not always completely covered.
