: Can anyone recommend to me how to proceed with shipping
: out tires already mounted on wheels ? What sort of prep work, if any, should be done to protect the finish?

------------------------------------------------
I am having a set of wheels/tires UPSed to me as we speak. I asked the sending party to bind two wheels together with the outsides facing in to protect the finish and to spiral nylon straping tape aroung the entire circumfrence in a bias ply fashion. It's also cheaper to send 4 in pairs of 2.

I'll tell you in a week how it worked! :)
