Max weight on rear axle isn't necessarily limited by tires.
To be clear so there is no misunderstanding, these tire load tables show the maximum the tires can handle, which is often greater than what the axles are rated for.
In the case of the E-Series chassis, all DRW models come with same size and rating of tires, but that exceeds some axle ratings by a significant amount.
DRW E-Series come with 7,800-, 8,500-, and 9,600-pound rear axles, yet tires can handle up to 9,880-pounds at maximum pressure of 80 PSI.
