RE: Tires for (new to us) 2000 LXi

I would replace tires with Michelin XZA2 ENERGY. These LXi have been running and steering/driving beautifully on 315/80r/22.5 tires for years.

Changing to 365s is an unnecessary expense. I would invest the money in adding a Safe-T-Plus steering unit to the steer axle if Corey has not already done so.

Also, I would weigh the bus for axle weights and inflate the tires to carry the resulting weights. With the weight distributed properly across all three axles, many LXis are light enough on the front axle to run Michelins @ 100psi or not much more than that.
