Most people consider the Hankook RA08 to be the gold standard for bus tires, but Anthony clued me in to a Chinese tire that is the same spec: Goform G325. I got to see them first hand on his camper at the dead of winter campout, and they look pretty good plus they are about half what the Hankooks cost.

The only thing I don't know is how long they will last, and that's a biggie to me. I got ten years out of my Yokohamas, arguably they are in need of replacing though. I'm still leaning on picking up the Hankooks though, just for peace of mind. The cheapest price online I have found is $85.40/ea.

I put together a pricing matrix to keep track of everything while I shop. If you find any other deals let me know. I'm hoping to pick some up with my tax return. Mine are quite a bit worn!

Just checked my spare and it's 195/75R14. It's a bit taller than the stock 185R14.

Yeah I was excited by the price and neglected to notice it's a 15" tire. According to Karl in the tire sticky the assumed aspect ratio of 185R14 is 82.

I'm gonna stick with the 185R14 Hankooks I think.

Have your bus centers remounted into some 15" wheels.
I also think that Bus Depot sells a 15" steelie that is just like the late bays (i.e. the hubcap holders are identical).

Anthony,
Did you get another bus?
I have been out of the loop...

An '82 aircooled Westy. Don't worry about being out of the loop. I haven't been seen much lately, either!

UPS says the tires will be delivered tomorrow. Pics to follow....

Hankooks are installed! They look great and the bus drives great, too. Looking forward to the trip to Sevierville on these.
