Duravis R250 or M895?

The R250 tread is better suited for a free rolling position and makes a excellent trailer tire.

The M895 has more of a drive axle tread but also makes a excellent tire for trailer use and may be a better choice for use on icy/snow packed roads...if your so inclined to tow in the winter.

The LT245/75-16 E has 3042 lbs of capacity.

The LT225/75-16 E has 2680 lbs of capacity.

Cost is kinda interesting....for about $$215 a tire I can get either

245/75 R16 M895
or
225/75 R16 R250

Other than these two specific tires/sizes, the prices are about $60 more a tire for all other sizes in each type.

Both sizes should work well on my 5th wheel (a moderately light 28 foot model)

Inclined to go for the 245/75 R16 M895 ...unless the tread pattern of the R250 is better for a 5th wheel..

You choice. I think the M895's cost more. I ran ribs for 6.5 years and two years on R250's. Getting the best mileage I have ever gotten with the R250's on the trailer. 12.4k 5er.

Have never thought I needed tires with more traction. Chris

Well I can tell you I have the r250 version on my ford dually and they have been excellent. They are incredible quiet and have worn very well in the 2 years I've had them. They seem to have a very stiff sidewall which should help against sidewall breakdowns and blowouts. I dont think you could go wrong with either. good luck
