Hi Woody,
    I have had Vredesteins on my 57 bug for about 50,000 miles.
They still look and perform like new.I have NO experience with them on a
bus.
I would look at tread design to determine if they will perform on ice and
snow.

            Good luck,
                    woody (also)
                 "keep on pushin'"
