I went into my local Sears today to look at these. The Michelins are priced at $79.95. They also had some Roadhandler (Sears brand made by Michelin) all-terrain radials in the same size (195/75/14) that supposedly had the same reinforcements as the Michelins (6 ply, I guess?) on sale for $59.95! They are lite truck tires with an agressive tread pattern, which should be great for dirt roads. I felt up the sidewalls (ooh, baby!) and they were indeed, very, very stiff. I think these would be great tires for the busses! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get two of them, but not right now cause my current tires still have lots of life in them. Check 'em out!
