The concept of dual load rating for a tire is not new. Light truck tires have one rating for single use and another for dual use.
The reduction in load capacity in the above situation is to off-set road camber. (So the theory goes).

It is not unreasonable to make the argument that tandem axle trailers should use the same load limits as shown for dual tire application. Road camber is just one of the contributing factors.
Still looking for the actual Goodyear document that says 12%. The link provided was to a boat trailer page that had a few erronious statements on it. It claimed that GY said 12 % but I didn't quickly find that in the GY documents.
