Tire Question

The chart is fine, but be sure it's applicable to your tire size, 315's or 12R's, there is a difference.

If 303 is going to save the tires from ozone damage, I am going to presume those advocates of its use apply it between the duals and on the rear side of the tires as often as they apply it to the outside. Right??????

I don't know, but it sure as hell what I was thinking I'd would do. I'd squeeze myself or my wife (much smaller) under there somehow and spray that stuff on the backside of all the tires as well as the inside drive tires.

Ok guys, I'm fairly knowledgeable on car tires, but I guess bus tires are another animal. I assume 315 is the width of tread of the tire you're mentioning? Mine say 12/22.5 XZ2 on the sidewall, but I don't recall seeing an R designation. Is there a basic primer on tires for our busses? Other than some electronices and tint, the coach has what it came with when I bought it.

Geoff,

This is not a suggestion. DO NOT ever get under your bus unless it is properly supported at the chassis support points by a support or jack stand rated for the weight.

I was joking about spraying stuff between and on the back side of tires to point out the absurdity of claims.

I will have to second Jon again.
Do not go under your bus for any reason, UNTIL it is correctly and fully supported at all for corners!
I have seen service techs go under the busses in big shops with less than perfect support. A very bad idea.
