Default anyone in or near Atlanta? pick up some tires for me?

Hi!

Anyone in or near Atlanta? I found 4 slicks from a guy 40 miles north of Atlanta. But he won't ship

Anyone want to help me pick them up and drop them off at A Fedex or UPS to ship them?

Some folks just don't want to go through the hassle of shipping large items so here's what you do. Go to a UPS TERMINAL (not a ups retail store unless you want to pay double) and have them issue a UPS call tag for the tires. All the seller has to do is put them on his doorstep - no need to box them up. UPS will bring the labels to stick on each tire. You'll need the weight and dimensions of each package/tire which you can get off the manufacturers website.

On a side note: If you can convince the seller to strap 2 tires together, UPS will consider that one "package" and it will be cheaper to ship.

What size slicks do you need?
I need to see exactly what I have in the shed, but I can't use the hosier race slicks on my 18x10.5 rims.

I'll make you a deal for all six if you can use them.
