Every campsite in a remote location requiring a LOT of unimproved road travel... Some pretty extreme fourwheeling over sharp rocks on occasion... Situations that an ST tire would fail just thinking about it.. The Michlins just shrug it off and keep working like they should. They are NOT cheap, but they flat out work.
The R-250 Bridgestones are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass and have been around for years. The tread pattern is just like their big brother 22.5" big rig trailer tires for straight line tracking and free rolling.
The R-250 and the Michelin XPS Rib tires are the holy grail of tires for trailers that need a 2680 lb to 3042 lb load capacity tire.
