As far as dry rot, the nod goes to the R250. Have run several sets of both on school buses thru the years. For less than the most demanding conditions I'm really liking the r500hd bridgestone .
R250 is a better tread design for a trailer. Solid shoulders with all straightline directional solid tread blocks. They don't scrub bad while maneuvering also.
