Question:
California allows 20,000 pounds maximum on the steer axle. The tread width of your tires is 11 inches, and the load rating on your steer tires is 7000 pounds. How much weight can you carry on your steer axle in California?
A
14,000 pounds
explanation
Even if they allow 14,000 pounds on the steer axle, you have to have tires that are rated to carry that much weight. If your steer tires have a tire load limit of 6,000 pounds each, you can only carry 12,000 pounds on your steer axle, regardless of state laws.
