Using a NY zip, Shipnerd showed $29 for the cheapest, although I don't know what method... probably Greyhound. The second cheapest was $73, probably USPS. The problem with shipping is that it would make more sense to buy from ebay sellers who have bulk rates, but I guess I could make it work if it's not too far.
I totally understand. For tyres alone, it's easier to sell locally. That's what I did with our SQ5 tyres. You can post in different forums and sub-forums since tyres are universal. Only issue I see is the skinny size. The ones from my 330i are still lying in my garage
