How do these tires do on hard cornering.
I have a 4 ft culvert drop off next to my driveway.I HAVE TO MAKE SHARP TURNS ALOT.
The LT will take cornering issue (side scrubbing) as good if not better than a ST tire especially a all steel ply carcass commercial grade tire like the R250.
Take the time to feel the difference in sidewalls of a 60 lb commercial grade LT235/85-16 E tire as the R250 and a 35-40 lb ST235/80-16 E tire. Its a enlightening experience.
I've spun my fully loaded tandem/triaxle GN equipment/stock trailer on the axles. No issues from doing so.
I've used ST tires on my heavy trailers and they simply didn't stand up to day in and day out abuse that my tires on those work trailers had to go through.
Those all steel ply carcass commercial grade tires are a big upgrade in reliability.

- Me_AgainExplorer IIII have 235/85R16's. Ran XPS Ribs in the same size for 6.5 years. If you have 33" or more center to center on your axles then 235's are the best if you have the wheel well room. 245 are shorter but wider. 235's have the preferred narrower tread.
Chris - carpetguy2ExplorerWhat size are you guys going with on duravis 250?

LT - carpetguy2ExplorerHave not weighed my axels yet.
To be honest I know I am . probably over weight though.
Have one of those wife's that has to bring food for everyone :( - JIMNLINExplorer IIIR-250 vs the R500 = apples vs oranges.
The R500 is a poly tire vs the R250 which is a all steel ply carcass commercial grade tire.
Both are a excellent choice for a tire on a trailer however the R250 would be a better choice for a heavy trailer and maxed out 6k axles.
Have you weighed the trailers axles ?
