Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Contact with the tire may result in hose abrasion, resulting in an air leak, causing the vehicle to pull to one side when braking and/or requiring extra distance to stop the bus. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
