Anyone have any idea how to ship tires out of the US? I have several people interested in my Michelin M59 tires. I've gone to the USPS and they tell me that it's too big to ship. I checked with UPS and they wanted $600 freakin dollars to ship two tires to Italy. Sheesh. Is there anyone who has done this reasonably? Say shipping to UK, Australia or New Zealand?

Davy,

The Post Office changed their shipping options in May and have severelt reduced the options while raising the prices. I looked into this a few weeks ago and it would be 125 to ship 2 tires to New Zealand. 25 lbs to Italy will be about $100 and take 6-10 days.

The package isn't too big but it may be too expensive...

Hey Jon. The guys I've had solicit me for the tires are trying to throw money at me to get it to them. They seem to have a lot of Paso's over there without any tires. When I go to the PO, what type of shipping do I ask for? Thanks.

Davy

If you do find a way to ship to uk i would be very interested in some tyres :thumbup: How much are they by the way as even with a high transport cost it may still be worthwhile

As many knows, usa try to "protect" they own markets, just, like EU do, so it getting more expensive to ship things "overseas"... And post packages start to be very high priced also. Much better to sell those tires in usa, but surely if someone is ready to pay very high shipping and VAT, tolls, etc in EU(from usa parts), then is ok.... Thast why i am currently looking only "inside market spare parts from EU", not anymore from usa. Too expensive from usa!!!

OK mr finnpaso tell me were to get tyres in europe ? I have been looking non stop for MONTHS :thumbdown: And actually in the uk i ship in lots of dragracing bits for my Hayabusa from the USA and find them Very reasonably priced :thumbup:

Steele "dear", i was talking mostly about shipping coast to EU, that was main point of my mail. I have noticed, that Michelin make those 16" tires quite exactly every 2. year in Spain, where is that factory. I have in my 750 Paso just new rear and front Michelin tires, what i bought from local shop 2 years ago. I havent had time to drive my 750 Paso since so much, only some very short trips... Surely i have heard plenty of rumours about 16" Michelins.... And i have hole 907 swingarm with wheels, brakes, etc for waiting 17" conversion, but that is LAST thing, what i want to do to my good looking 750 Paso with 16" rims.... Surely i hope, that U find 16" Michelins for Your Paso :thumbup: And if U are rich man, then no anykind of problem to pay those shipping, etc coast from usa to EU.... :thumbup:

Like you mate i really dont like the look ofthe Paso with tyres other than the originals. I know i could fit Avons at a pinch but would much rather have the specified tyre. I really want to ride my bike again she has been laying dormant for too long ,So i am prpared to pay over the odds to get them :thumbup:

OK, here is what I found out. Generally speaking the cost to the UK for shipping alone

(1) tire 3 to 5 days $122.50 or 6 to 10 days $102.00

(2) tires 3 to 5 days $217.25 or 6 to 10 days $184.50

Guys,
This might be a bit out of date now, but a pair of Michelin tires were posted to me from USA to NZ in May this year at a cost of $47.25 for postage. It did take 9 weeks for they to arrive, but I was in no hurry, so all OK.

Fraser.

For us brits it works out at $122.50 = £59.53.
$102 = £49.56. $217.25 = £105.57. $184.50 = £89.66. + what it costs for the tyres it's worth it if you want to get the right tyres for your Paso.

Dave

Davy you are a top man :thumbup:
