Dhl
Just had a wheel and tyre uplifted by DHL for delivery to a member in UK. They insisted that the tyre was totaly deflated for safety reasons! Something I never thought about

only bought them for the alloys so didnt mind, but was puzzled at the time. |

DHL use aircraft to transfer parcels quickly from say edinburgh to london and the altitude in an unpressurised cargo hold would cause the air in tyre to expand and theoretically blow a hole in the aircraft!!!

DHL assume that in the UK the vast majority of their parcels will be flown, so they have some very tough restrictions. They can ship a lot more parcels quickly by plane then by lorry
