Hi,
Obviously, there is an apples/oranges situation here. The tires that I have on my PT are 12 R 22.5, Bridgestones and they cost about $500 mounted. The tires Jeff is referring to must be 11 R 22.5, which are considerably less expensive. There are some PTs running around with the 11Rs on the rear and seem to be doing ok. However, check the weights and use the appropriate size tire for the given bus weight---unless you enjoy the sounds of loud noises and rushing air. Later,
RS

Correct. FCs run 11" tires which are the standard semi-truck size and therefore more competitively priced. PTs run 12" tires, less common and more expensive, standard bus tires.
My tires came from TCI in Zeeland Michigan, about 18months ago.
