If you have plenty of time you can post a request on the hauling section of this site. You might find someone that is going your way with a little extra room looking to pick up a few extra bucks.
Aside from that 2 rear tractor tires would be hauled by a LTL carrier. IE: Yellow; Estes; UPS freight: Fed Ex freight; ABF; ect.......
If you choose to go with a LTL carrier you have 2 options. You can contact a local terminal in your area for a quote and schedule the pickup or you can work threw a broker. What way is best or cheapest really depends on the routing lane and how bad a company needs the freight to fill up trailers. On mostly full lanes brokers (such as unishippers) get mega discounts you can not get for a one time haul so they can sometimes make money and still offer a lower rate than dealing with the carrier direct. On half empty lanes the carrier may give you a discount just to get the freight.
Brokers try to make their service sound easy because they handle all the paper work but the carrier will help you with this.
You will need to know some info to get a quote. Total weight; LTL class; both zip codes; and what if any Accessorial services you will need. Try to get the weight as low as you can because this is what the rate is based on. In other words if the tires are filled you will want to drain them. You will want to check to make sure but I think the class for tires and rims is class 77.5 Try to stay away from any and all accessorial charges because this is where the mega bucks add up fast. Things like farm/house pickup or delivery; lift gate service; notify or appointment charges; ect......... If you are shipping from a house to a house it is best to deliver and pickup at the terminal to avoid these charges. Pickup or delivery to a business that a trailer can get to is figured in the normal charge.
So call a few local terminals from the list above and get a quote. If I remember I will ask our dispatcher tomorrow for a list of brokers so you can call them for a quote also.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
