[QUOTE="Geeze, post: 351458, member: 15843"] Thought that 195/60R14 was meant to be load rated to 86? :? That gives 530kg a corner, which is ok shared across the 1050kg front axle weight of a bus. I know that technically there's a recommendation for +10% but in the same breath don't think many of us will ever get anywhere near GVW in how we use our buses. If you want something higher rated, then how about a 14" van tyre: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m90b0s510p79249/GOODYEAR_TYRES_VAN_GOODYEAR_DURAGRIP_-_175_65R14_C_90T_TL_" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Narrower than your too wide 195, pretty much the same diameter and load rated to 600kg. Plus you wouldn't need to swap your rims :D [/QUOTE]
