So how many tires did you change? Are you 4wd?

Are you buying new or used tires?
well they looked brand new I got a set of 4 from the junkyard still had the nipples on them.... only problem is I put my spare on and it's the same size as the tires I bought I'm thinking maybe I need all 4 tires the same size maybe for the shudder to stop but if there too small that could cause it too right? not good w differentials n tires n rim size.... I Kno the rims are 17*7 pretty sure the spare rim is too
 






You definitely need matching sizes. Are you 4wd?

^^^^^^^^ Lmao
 






Discount Tire Co sells a complete set of RADAR DIMAX AS-8 for $542.64 out the door. Available in both 16" (P235 70 R16) and 17" (P245 65 R17) same price ($102 each).

If you want to run different sizes on the front and rear you need to remove the front drive shaft and pull the 4WD/AWD system fuses.

Who let you put this tire on? Your tires are spec'd as 245 65 r17. Thst tire would be 750mm in diameter. The 235 55r17 tire is much smaller, 690mm diameter! Your abs system is confused. Because the different diameter tires make it think you are in a skid. ABS and esp 4WD ABS cars are VERY sensitive to tire dia variation. 1/4" diameter from uneven wear is enough to screw things up. Your tire is 2 1/2" different than the rest.

All 4 tires must match.
