O.K. I think this might belong in this dept. Tires are close to wheels. So the thread Jon started about tires started me thinking. What is it like to have a BLOWOUT on one of these buses ? Who has experienced one out there. Im sure front is worse than rear. My last motorcoach was a Kenworth T600. I had a BLOWOUT on the right front at 70 mph. The coach handled good at that speed untill I slowed it down and got over on the side. Only mistake I made was applying the brakes during the last 50 feet of stopping. Ground a flat spot on the wheel. Always coast the last 50 feet if the Blowout is on the front. If the wheel had not been damaged a new tire could have been installed right there on the side of the highway. With a damaged wheel I had to be towed. Btw it was a Michelin.
