Can anyone recommend the best way to post tyres? They are wired clincher 23c. Ill be putting them on the site later, but not sure if I should bend them?

    You could twist them (not bend) 'figure of 8' style into a smaller size so that they fit into a box.
    Easier and better to just put them whole into a black rubble sack/thick bin liner if its the same postage cost though.

    Sorted, ill twist them, that way they will pass the hermes dimension test. Cheers

    That's the way I've received wire bead tyres in the past. No kinks in the bead once untwisted.

    You could just send them as they are, wrap some tape around them to keep the pair together and attach a label. Worked for me (so I believe, the buyer seemed happy enough).
