10% over axle rating doesn't take into account the pin weight on a 5th wheel, which on my trailer is 3,500 pounds (scaled). My trailer has 3x7,000 pound axles and increasing 21,000 by 10% comes to 23,100 pounds to satisfy RVIA.
However, subtracting the pin weight, my three axles only need to carry 19,600 pounds. 19,600 equates to 3,266 pounds per tire - well within the load range of any E rated tire. BTW my GVWR is 19,000.
