What is needed is pictures of placards of TT along with the stated load capacity showing minimal reserve load for the tires. Also clear, in-focus pictures of tire failures. Information on actual loading of tires, not guesses or total trailer weights.
The tires on the trailer for this placard were TowMax ST235/80R16E Rated at 3520# at 80 psi.
This manufacturer has not derated the 7000# axles and has met their minimum requirement with the OE tires. I would guess this trailer fully loaded and nicely balanced will have a pin weight in the 3000# range. That leaves about 12% reserve load capacity above maximum GAW for the OE tires. Much better than other manufacturers of trailers in the same weight class.
