Have seen two schools of thought on this, so curious as well.

However, since payload is defined as GVWR - Curb Weight, and tires are certainly part of a vehicle's curb weight, how can heavier tires NOT impact available payload? Using this standard definition of payload, it wouldn't matter if the weight is unsprung or not.

Not arguing your point, just interested.....
