Just recording some stats here for easy future reference:

USPS - Calculate Postage

From: tennesse-37050 (houston 77001 $58 from this zip via USPS, $38 via UPS)
To: morristown NY 13664
weight: 13 lbs/tire
size: 22.5 x 22.5 x 6.5

1 tire: $14.03 Parcel post 6 days

2 tires: $19.80

So, it's cheaper to tape 2 tires together.
