Do school buses have a lot of wheels? I’m thinking about buying an old school bus and converting it into a camper, but I want to know how many tires I would need to take care of.

The answer to this question will depend on the size of bus you want to buy! Smaller school buses have four tires, but some larger school buses may have six wheels: two in the front and four in the back.
It’s good that you’re considering these things in advance, though, especially since school bus tires can be very expensive. New school bus tires can cost as much as $400 per tire to replace, so buying a bus with relatively new tires might be a good investment to avoid paying more for new tires in the future.
