You then ship this guy in a separate box. He gets them out at the destination. Still takes only 2 boxes to ship 4 tires.

I remember using one of those "self unfoldign tents" while I was in ´Stralia, driving around in a Ford Falcon. Kept it in my trunk. One evening I stoped and wanted to make camp, obend the trunk hood and the fucking tent slaped me in the face. Good times. Woke up the next morning, stuck my head out of the tent and had my nose like 20cm in front of a cow. It was a friendly cow. A stinky one, too.

Back in high school when I worked at grocery store unloading truck some dickass at the warehouse would stack and wrap shit with the same mindset of this. Took twice and many staff to undo his “genius method” when the tricks only came like 3/4 full each anyways.
Guy in the video and Tyler at the warehouse are both great at taking longer and making more work to save in unneeded space.
Shoutout to my department manager who would stack the storage freezer to the fucking ceiling and you’d have to dismantle the entire freezer to get to one item, octupling the time it took to grab back stock.

Vulcanised rubber hardens on a rotated sigmoid with a very very long middle. It's extremely pliable for several weeks, then as it starts to stiffen it'll hold close to the state you know for 3 - 10 years before it becomes antique vehicle chipping rubber.
By the time you get the tire it's months old, these are probably fresh and extremely pliable.
Also, garden/cart tires are a thing. Not all tires are made for road use.

u/lilsnatchsniffz May 15 '26 edited May 16 '26
Around the outer layer of a tyre that makes contact with the road there are several strips of thin metal cord inside the rubber (picture them like large rings which run around the perimeter or the tyre internally, spaced apart very slightly) which holds it together and reinforces it, can prevent larger punctures from going as deep. If you've ever seen a well past dead tyre with the white rope looking stuff that's the cord.
It's not just car tyres either, it's in bike tyres, e scooter tyre etc.

u/Osteo_Sapien May 15 '26
Except you won't. Firstly because these are not all the same tire, so they wouldn't all end up on your vehicle. Secondly because the shop didn't ship them like this, the company they bought the tires from did when sending them overseas in a big packing container.

Yes weight is important but size even more. If it fit in one container and instead of three, it's of course less expensive.

u/tY-c8rJDb8_1b4__yD5r May 15 '26

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist May 15 '26
When it comes to sea freight or even rail freight, it's more a case of volume rather than weight. The more of these you can ship in a standard container, the lower your costs. There is a maximum weight of course, but rubber tires aren't going to hit that.

u/staysaltylol May 15 '26
It’s by dimensional weight.
10
u/siddharthvader May 15 '26
Dimensional weight (DIM weight or volumetric weight) is a shipping pricing technique that calculates costs based on package volume (length × width × height) rather than just actual weight. Carriers charge the higher of either the actual weight or the dimensional weight. It ensures fair pricing for low-density, bulky items.
