I also note that few posting on this thread have made allowances for the axle to axle variation of their trailer or the side to side variation on all their axles.
Based on some data it is not unreasonable to see 5% or more variation between axles and another 5% or more on side to side variation.
Some individuals ahve been shocked to learn they have one position overloaded by more than 10% and that's with the tire at max inflation.
You need to look at each ov the number of load limits to have a safe setup.
You should never exceed any measurement be it GAWR, GVWR, Max pin load, Max ball load, GTW, Max on individual tire.
