We have the R250's in the LT235/85R16. They have most definitely been run below 45 degrees, even a few times approaching 20 degrees. I never knew to worry about it, and haven’t seen any ill effect. We have about 9000# on 2 6000# axles with about 2800# on the pin, just under 12000# total. So the load is on average just under 75% of max.
The prior set of tires were BFG Commercial TA's. They were bought in August of 09 when I upgraded our last trailer from 15” ST tires to 16” LT tires. 2 Years later we bought the Mountaineer and I had the tires switched. In early 2013 I saw a bulge in 1 tire and replaced all 4 with the Bridgestone R250's.
Did you remount the tires on the same side of the trailer, so the direction of rotation was the same?
