Bridgestone Duravis R265 as %th Wheel Tire

Hi Team,

Any thoughts on the Bridgestone R265 tires for use on a 5th wheel.

Please do not take this thread down the "trailer versus Light Truck Tire" path.

Just looking for feedback on the Bridgestone R265 versus the R250.

Thanks
Dan

    The R265 is a poly ply carcass and the R250 is a steel ply carcass. R250 tread is similar to a long haul trailer tire tread and the GY G614 trailer tire.

    TV = R265
    Trailer = R250

    R265 is an A&S tread design with lots of sipes and breaks in the outer ribs. To much grip in tight maneuvers.

    R250 is a better tread for a trailer application.

    R250


    I have been using R250's on my trailer for two years after 6.5 years on Michelin XPS Ribs.

    If you want to stay with a poly carcass Bridgestone, then look at the R500 HD.
