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.
Walk around a truck stop and look at the tires that are on most OTR semi trailers! They will look a lot like R250's. Bridgestore makes large truck tires with the same tread pattern. Many diesel pusher MH have the large R250's.
