When looking for bus or motor coach tires, there are many things to keep in mind. Where your service operates, how many passengers you carry, and typical driving conditions are all critical considerations for choosing bus and coach tires.
Do you need tough radial tires to stand up to inner-city curbing, or are you in need of an ultra-fuel-efficient tire for long highway routes?
Selecting the right tires and performing regular maintenance will be the key to fuel efficiency, tire life, and the safety of your driver and passengers.
Things to consider when choosing bus or motor coach tires:
Specifications:
- Tire size recommended for your bus or motor coach
- Load rating and maximum weight needed for your work or passenger load
- Vehicle class and type
- Sidewall strength needed (critical for city driving where curb checks may be inevitable)
Conditions:
- What types of roadways are being driven
- Are these tires for severe service conditions
- Weather conditions
Once you have the right tire, making sure you maintain them is very important.
