Shipping winter tires with online courier service
Do you want to buy winter tires and rims in another city or ship yours abroad? Or do you need to send motorcycle rims to an international address? No problem! Europacco is specialized in tires and rims shipping! In fact, we pick up the tires directly at your home and deliver them safely within a few days to the destination. The only caution is to pay attention to the right packaging to ascertain the integrity of the goods during transport.
Properly packaged tires
Make sure the tires and rims are properly packaged. The goods can be placed on a pallet and secured with strapping (as well as wrapped with plastic film or cardboard) or packed without a pallet but with cellophane or in the appropriate black bags. In the second case, you can use the parcel option for your shipment of car or motorcycle tires, keeping in mind the maximum allowed size and weight limits. Depending on the weight and size of the goods, you can arrange the shipment by packing each tire individually or in pairs of two.
Tips for proper packing of tires and rims:
- In case you would like to use the pallet option, proceed as follows:
- Place the goods on the pallet
- Secure the tires and rims to the pallet using strapping or rope
- Pack the entire shipment with cellophane or nylon film so that the items are protected against any shipping damage
- In the case of parcel-type shipping, consider the following precautions:
- Pack the tires and rims individually or, if weight and size permit, in pairs, placing them in a cardboard box or wrapping them with cellophane or nylon film

FAQ – tyre and wheel shipping
- How much does it cost to ship 4 tyres?
For a set of 4 standard tyres (e.g. 205/55 R16), the shipping cost is calculated based on typical dimensions of 65 x 65 x 25 cm per tyre. To meet weight and size limits, we recommend splitting the shipment into two packages with two tyres each. For domestic shipping within Italy, the average cost is around €16 per package. A single tyre weighs about 9 kg, so two tyres fit perfectly within the weight limit. There is no need to use cardboard boxes: simply wrap the tyres in stretch film and securely attach the shipping label. - What is the safest way to pack alloy wheels for shipping?
Shipping alloy wheels requires extra care. Protect the surface with bubble wrap, especially the edge and centre of the wheel. Wrap each wheel completely with stretch film to avoid scratches. If shipping two wheels, place them face-to-face with a layer of cardboard between them for added protection. Attach the shipping label securely to the stretch film. For high-value wheels, we recommend additional insurance. - How long does it take to ship tyres within Italy?
Our courier network guarantees fast delivery of your tyres and wheels. For routes like Milan–Rome, delivery takes 24–48 hours. For destinations such as Sicily or Sardinia, please allow 48–72 hours. We offer free pickup from your address and online tracking for real-time monitoring. For urgent deliveries to workshops and tyre dealers, our express service ensures next-day delivery in major Italian cities. - What is the maximum weight allowed for a car tyre shipment?
The maximum weight for tyre shipments is 40 kg per package. Since a standard tyre weighs about 8–9 kg and a complete wheel (tyre + rim) weighs about 15–20 kg, we recommend:- Shipping a maximum of 2 tyres per package
- Shipping one complete wheel per package
- How can I track my tyre shipment?
After order confirmation, you will receive a tracking number by email. You can track your shipment in three ways:- On our website under the "Tracking" section
- Via the link provided in the confirmation email
- By contacting our customer service via chat or phone
- What are the maximum package dimensions for shipping complete wheels?
For shipping complete wheels (tyre + rim), the following limits apply:- Maximum side length: 130 cm
- Maximum combined dimensions (length + width + height): 190 cm
- Can tyres be shipped internationally from Italy?
Yes, we offer international tyre shipping to all EU countries and many worldwide destinations. Weight and size limits remain the same as for domestic shipments (40 kg per package). For non-EU countries, additional customs documentation may be required, which our team will help you prepare.
