    H tires won't do any good if the axle is only rated for 12,000.

    If the scales inspect you,they will always use the lower rating..

    my 15 evo I can make steer axle up to 13200 full of fuel
    all the way down to 11500
    I know there are different fifth wheels with each notch being different my truck each notch is 500 lbs
    I can't imagine it starts at 12700 and gets heavier
