I have completed an analysis of individual side to side and axle to axle variation in load. I note that out of the 500+ posts in this thread only two owners appear to know their real loads.
Most of you probably assume you have equal load distribution axle to axle and almost 50/50 side to side balance. The reality is you may have axle to axle split of 61/39 and/or side to side split of 41/59 with no indication which axle or which side is heaviest.
If you think you might like to avoid a multi-thousand dollar repair bill after having a tire failure you might find the information in my Dec 12 2012 post educational.
