Load capacity of REV 24 rear axle

Has anyone found a wheel and tire package to increase CCC on the rear axle of the REV 24? I just drove 1900 miles from Maine to FL and found out that my rear axle was overloaded by 700 pounds, even though my total load was within the rated CCC (1197 lbs). Someone must have a solution, I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Weight of REV 24

I weighed my REV 24 TB after unloading all of the cabinets and the refrigerator. I did have a spare tire on the front bumper and a plastic storage bin on the rear trailer hitch, empty, and I was the only occupant in the RV when weighed. The scales shower my rear axle at 5140 lbs. My sticker shoes my axle capacity id 5280. The problem with this design is that everything added to the storage compartments increases the load on the rear. I've been looking at 14 ply rated tires (the RV is single tire not duals) but the wheels are not strong enough to handle the increased pressure. Not sure there is any solution.
