CAT Scale numbers (still a newbie to towing)
I had my tow vehicle and trailer weighed today on a CAT scale today. Steer Axle - 3220 lbs Drive Axle - 4320 lbs Trailer Axle - 6040 lbs The UVW of the trailer is 6204 lbs but we do have a coup...

Max tire pressure is 44PSI which I already air up to when I'm hitched up and the lb rating is 2601
So 5202 at max psi.. Your good to go IMO..

Those P tires at max loads can exhibit sever carcass roll especially with a bumper pull trailer back there.
Also a P tire load capacity on a truck is required by fed regs to be derated by dividing its capacity by 1.1......so if those P tires have a 2400 lb load rating is now 2181 lbs.
A load range D/E will stiffen the tires carcass which eliminates carcass roll. Carcass roll...... is like towing with a half flat tire.
The ibs rating on the sidewall is already derated from the manufacturer. You dont take the lb rating off the side wall and subtract a # from it..
