Barry, you stated:

<<...Best I've seen listed on the web (don't even now if the exist in
fact) have an LI of 95.  But I have a lead on Vredestein 205/75 R14 with
an LI of something like 106!  If anyone is intereted I'll let them know
were this leads via pmail. >>

   I believe that light truck tires with a load index 95 should be
adequate for a bus if you don't overload it.  According to the
information on the doorjamb sticker, My '89 Westy's rear axle GAWR is
2866lbs.  A pair of LI95 tires are rated to carry 3042lbs.  My last two
setsa tires have been 27x8.50R14LT, and they work just fine on my bus.
