Title: Bus Tires
Post by: 1969deluxebus on April 13, 2008, 06:57:47 PM

I just was wondering if anyone knows a good place in the lowermainland to get tires? I am thinking of ordering the Ra08 for my bus from busdepot. I thought I would ask the Forum there advice.  If I order them  there is duty right? I usually just get things shipped to a WA address and pick them up  but  just checking options.  Is there another tire that is equal good.. around here?? Also what are the thoughts on  uping to the 195r14  rather then the 185r14
thanks

Hey Matt I love the Michelin 195-14 XLTs These are a light truck tire and will mak eyour bus drive like a Mercedes. I use to put em on all my customers buses and they were never dissapointed and could not belive the difference real tires make!
   My 2 cents.
