But seriously Specta, if you were a professional driver, you'd see things differently. And you'd understand scales, and certifications, and, and, and..

This things are good to know.
Check the tire load ratings printed on the rear tires - Your load is probably pretty close to the max tire load rating.

Who is "they"?
State operated scale along a highway?
CAT scale at a truck stop?

Pretty close. What are your tires rated at the pressure you were running? My bet is the stock rear tires are the cause for the RAWR, but of course, Es can go all of the way to 4080 each or down to barely 3000.
