Bus Tires

Had to google that. Mine definitely are NOT. And unless they make them in a 10 lug pattern, they aren't going to be any time soon either.

Yeah, for the cost and effort involved I can't see any point in switching hub styles on a skoolie. Leave 'em as they are and learn how to work with them.

The Daytons are usually 5 or 6 spoke. The lug nuts are further towards the outside of the wheel so you don't need as many of them. Also, the lugs nuts don't need to be torqued as tightly as Budd and pilot hubs. Again, makes life easier swapping things around on the side of the road.

Switching from your wheels to Daytons requires changing your hubs.

Exactly why they are staying the way they are. I say that now as I've not tried taking a wheel off yet. 450~500 lb/ft of torque (plus paint) times ten on the side of the road at 2 am in the middle of KS may change that tho.

I appreciate the info. I live just north of Gainesville, Ga. It doesn't get too cold here.

Winder for me.

big thing about daytons is making sure anyone who works on them takes the time to put them on straight.. or it makes for a nasty ride.. and hard on the tires..
