I have a Gladiator Sport Max Tow with no lift. I am switching from the stock Dueler P245/75R17 to Cooper AT3 4S P285/70R17. What is my new payload and tow capacity from stock 1,535 payload/7,650 Tow capacity with slightly larger tires?

Height: 31.5"/32.8"
Tread Width: 7"/9.2"
Weight: 38Lb/45Lb
Max Load: 2469/2833

That would take a mathematical guess. At best I would think you will hardly be able to notice any difference. I say that because nobody really knows the total weight of the things they throw in the bed plus in the seats. If you are keeping a record of your MPH you will see a bit shaved of from your current numbers. Your speedometer will be off some and that will give you inaccurate speed and MPH readings but you can get that corrected in the computer.

I put the same size P285/70R 17 tires KO2s (33") on mine and I had the dealership correct the computer.

Should not have any suspension issues, horsepower rob will be minimal. You will pull lower gears more often than stock. Even with Max tow stock, I would never tow more than 6000# with this Jeep. And thats 6000# Loaded.
