Bridgestone tires

    Thanks for all the info. I wound up with a list of 12 quoats and have about decided to buy Toyo's. They are mediam range in price and Consumer Reports rates them fairly good.

As far as I know, Consumer Reports only rates passenger car /SUV tires, so I'm not sure how much that is going to tell you about the tires you plan to buy.

On the other hand, I have personally had a set of Toyos on my bus, and was very happy with them.

It is possible that the Toyos you buy will have been manufactured in Mount Vernon, Illinois.  Toyo and Continental Tire operate under one roof there, as a joint venture. (I've been there.)  Continental is sinking a lot of money into expanding that plant, ever since they closed their Charlotte facility.

     I found 22 and 24 inch tires on Consumers Report's website. The only brands listed under 24 inch were Nitto & Falken which I've never heard of but under 22 inch there were 9 listed of which Continental was #1 and Yokohama was #2. I'm pretty sure they were not testing the same tires that we use but at least it was more info to consider.

I'm pretty sure the 22 and 24 inchers from Nitto, Falken and the consumer site are the low profile SUV or Light truck tires.  Probably not anything you would put on a bus.  Then again, maybe a set of chrome spinners and a kickin' subwoofer,....  As we say here, DO IT YOUR OWN WAY!
