P016, P081, P101, P102 - New Tires

[Kodie]

These buses will be getting new rims and tires today. It'll take me awhile to get them all done. Each bus will have a spare tire mounted underneath.

6 tires per bus, times 4 buses leaves me 24 tires. 4 of them will go on the listed buses, the other 20 will be put underneath the other P buses and the rest I'll just hang onto. This is to make potential road side repair easier. If I'm not able to make it to a bus on a long distance trip a local shop can put the tire on that we supply, which saves $$$.

New tires/rims?!! On buses a year and a half old, with the exception of P016?! :o *Explodes*

I didn't ask for your input.

Highway driving exposes the rubber on the tires to excessive heat, which causes premature wear. All of these buses tires are showing signs of many highway miles because of the trips they take. The rims are being utilized elsewhere.
