Shipping Tires?

The online UPS and FedEx shipping calculators are showing me some crazy shipping prices.
Shipping from Western New York tothe Boston area.
FedEx: $146 per tire.

UPS ground: $48 per tire.
If I click the "Special Handling" box on their web site, the price jumps to $67 per tire.

This is for a F70-14 tire only, no rim.
