With a 14000 GVWR trailer don't guess at loads on the trailers axles. I would get it weighed before buying tires.
Even at 14k gross minus a 20% pin (2800 lb) = 11200 lb gross axle divided by 4 tires = 2800 lbs per tire.
You may have more tire reserve than you think. However only actual scaled weights will tell the tale.
Yes, I have located the closest CAT scale and am going to scale before buying anything. I think I am am over thinking it, especially without actual weights. Once I scale then I will probably be worried about exceeding the trucks capacity too!!!!
Again, I can't say enough about how helpful you guys are as I go through this process!!!!!
