Yes, it needs weighed when it is loaded as you use it. Some people use up their carrying capacity and some never approach it, that is why loaded weights are critical, some will argue that you should always use the maximum loaded weight for safety reasons, but even then accurately knowing your pin weight is a critical part of the equation. When you know your pin weight, it can be subtracted from the maximum weight in order to see what remaining weight the tires have to support. Divide by four and you have the weight each tire must support, add a safety factor and you will know the loading capacity for each tire that you will have to have. Then your search can begin. As I always say, I am far from a tire expert, but rather rely on some common sense aspects of what can safely be used. Hope this helps.
