We run a Goodyear RHD2 for drive tires on all of our MCI coaches and Gillig low floors it's a bit over kill in the summer but it's the best when traction is needed. I don't know what all sizes you run all of ours are 315/80 R22.5 | ||

Hi John, Welcome to the forum. RRTA runs straight tread tires all year round. We don't get the amounts of snow that other parts of the state do. I'm not sure if a mud / snow tread would make any difference. Plus I don't have the hassle of dealing with different types of tread patterns. I have enough work with all the different size tires. Do you own or lease tires? Steve | ||

Just curious on what everyone runs on their fixed route buses in the winter time. Snow tires or all-season Mud & Snow. Outcomes on each and what you found to work best. Thank you!! |
