I just weighed my trailer on the Cat Scales and its just under 14K lbs.
Trailer is 13,900 lbs versus Trailer Label 14,180 GVWR (or effectively "maxxed" out, but NOT overweight). Used to weigh 12,900 long ago before we went from weekend RVing to long term RVing.
Axles: 5590 (vs 6k Axles)
Tires: 2795 (vs 3042 rating)- albeit actual individual weights on each tire remains unknown and probably peaks at times on crowned roads or uphill.
So the tires shouldn't always be overloaded, but without individual tire weights I can't know for sure...
For fun weigh each side or tire if possible. It will open your eyes.
I wasn't able to get weights for both sides but did notice right side was just a little warmer running. Moved some thing around in the basement and inside and temps are much better.
