If I had 7,000 lb axles I would use a tire rated for at least 3,500 lbs (x2 = 7,000 lbs). But that's me and I go on ratings not actual weight since they can both be different.

The GVWR for our trailer is 15560 lbs. I hope I never get close to maxing out the tires on the axles because then the rig would be waaaaaaaay overweight. At the moment my pin weight is close to 2800 lbs. and 12260 lbs. on the axles which puts the combined weight at 15060 lbs. Just because the axles are rated at 7K, they will never have that much weight on them and I believe the manufacturers take that in to account when they put these rigs together. JMHO
