[T2] Bay bus's with CLK's

I switched to 15" rims, which opened up the door to a much wider
choice of tires. My bus has been wearing Continentals Contact CT22 in
a size 205/65 R15. They are reinforced and rated 99T (99=1709 lbs /
775 kg and T= 118 mph /190 km/h :). Very robust tires, excellent grip,
not sure if they're still available, though.

Very little wear, but getting old, well over 10 years, so it's time to
replace them. Thinking about Michelin Agilis or Continental Vanco
Contact2, keeping in mind that we need at least a 96 load rating.
Interestingly, GoWesty recommends the Michelin Defender in 215/65/15,
which is not a reinforced tire, but does meet the load rating. I
wouldn't mind a somewhat softer ride.
