Packing and Returning Wired Tyres

[uclown2002]

I need to return:- some Top Contact Winter 2 tyres which have a wired bead. I've had them a few months so can't remember how they were when delivered.

Is it OK to fold them in a figure of eight then fold again to make a circle, or will this damage the wire in some way?

What is likely to be cheapest method of returning? Box or strong plastic bag?

Wiggle have send wired tyres to me both 'open' and 8 folded.

The folded ones were fine and undamaged.

Folding is fine!

Folding in 3, as per the above, is better than folding in two (though I must say the chap in the video doesn't do it very well)

I have seen a better video but couldn't be bothered trying to track it down!
