What should be ensured regarding the bus tires' alignment?

Ensuring proper alignment of the bus tires is essential for several reasons. When tires are well-aligned, it enhances the handling of the vehicle, allowing for better control and maneuverability. This is particularly important for buses, which are larger and heavier than standard vehicles. Proper alignment promotes even tire wear, meaning that the tires will last longer and perform better overall, improving safety and reliability.

Misalignment can lead to uneven tire wear, which not only shortens the lifespan of the tires but also can cause issues with steering and stability, leading to potential safety risks. Therefore, maintaining correct alignment is a critical aspect of a thorough pre-trip inspection to ensure that the bus operates safely and efficiently.
