Hold on guys, I never said I am putting passenger tires on the bus. I am putting  the right tires for the weight load, at TODAYS spec. I'm not trying to sway anyone, nor do I care to.
As someone said to each his own  @7@

Remember I had buses in the late 60's. I am not new to VW's  just an old man
with good friends  

P.S. I don't drink   LAUGH@

Can't you just move up to a 15" wheel? This would allow you to use a variety of truck duty tires...Unless you are building a concourse Bus, this shouldn't be a big deal.

If your Thinking about Chinese made tires like HankooK etc, etc  tier Better get them now because in a few days I hear that the U.S. Goverment is taxing on a Tariff of 35% per tire.  @7@

I'm all for buying American but this will backfire on the consumer.
Example: Chinese tire was $100.00 now $135.00
American tire maker should be happy that they are now cheaper and sales will go up...and sales will go up. American tire was $110.00 , now Chinese tire is $135.00. American tire maker will raise price to $129.00. Why? Because they can.... %6%

Yes I know these are ridiculously priced... and I can't find a rating on theme either.

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.
