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.
