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 - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
