Question:
I pull a 2018 Forest River Salem 26DBLE long distances with a half-ton Silverado. Will the MXS59FR handle the weight okay?

Good question, Ron. The # MXS59FR ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w/ 16" Eagle Aluminum Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2 is built for much heavier trailers with 8-lug hubs, so it wouldn’t fit your Salem’s running gear. Your trailer likely uses 3,500-lb axles with a 5 on 4-1/2 pattern (according to my research - I'd verify), so you’ll want something like the # MXS39FR ST205/75R15 with 5 on 4-1/2" lug pattern.
Do you happen to know your axle rating from the tag on the beam? That’ll confirm exactly which combo fits best.
