RE, Load Index

<< Thought 93 was deemed OK.  Not so? >>

   IMO, that is the bare minimum using only light truck tires, and I'd be
reluctant to go with it even if you never exceed the bus' rated load
capacity stated on the driver side doorjamb.  If you go with a 27x8.50
LT, you get 1521 lbs capacity and a 95 LI, giving you some margin.  I got
a set of no-names manufactured by Kelly-Springfield from a local corner
tire store for $58 apiece that I'm very happy with.
