What causes squealing tires?
I've been driving around a 260 bus lately with decent condition engine, decent condition radiator, and all clean tires and rims. Yet whenever I get over 40k/h there is a constant tire squeal noise that i cant seem to get rid of. The tires have full clearance from what i can see.
Is this a common problem for buses? Is it possible i've overloaded the bus and it just doesn't show the bus rubbing against the tires?

This is indeed a problem a bunch of people have with buses. We do not know what causes it, neither know a fix for it at the moment. Sorry.
