Scott,

Good point, and also need to subtract the tongue weight from the trailer
weight, it's riding on the tow vehicle. Also keep in mind there are several
grades of tires with different load ranges.

It's good to keep in mind the fact that the load rating listed on the
sidewall is the maximum for that tire alone. For total carrying weight, add
the max load for both tires together.
