    Greyhound quoted shipping for the four tires and rims from LA at something like $300+, and although these were much closer in Pittsburgh, they had much larger (and therefore heavier) tires, which I can only assume would have negated much of the price difference. I think we probably broke even on driving up there vs. shipping it Greyhound, plus it gave the wife and I a chance to get a break from our 14 month old for two days. We drove through Virginia horse and wine country and then through the mountains in western Maryland and West Virginia on our way, which were all beautiful in the amazing weather we had over the weekend. On the way back we stayed in a nice hotel in Winchester, VA for only $60 , and ate at one of the best southern BBQ places I've been in a long time.

    So we end up paying about the same as shipping and got a nice weekend away instead.
