Quick tire question

I am on vacation in bossier city on the drive noticed a bad wobble at slow speeds no as bad at highway speed but still there.

I am thinking either threw a wieght or slipped or busted radial.

Also if I go to a 275/70 r17 to fill wheel well more how will it affect anything and will it fit ok

Thanks guys.

It will fit okay, but can't tell how much it will affect, without know OE size.

275/70R17 is a 32" tire and will fit even a 2wd I believe. Definitely a 4wd as that is what I am running, and have run on my 04 and 07.

I assume, 255/70, which would mean just over a half inch difference in size. Speedometer will not be out that much, and it will not affect the shift points greatly. If you do decide to have it reprogrammed by the dealer, that size will not be in their computer. However, 276/65R18 will be and that is exactly the same diameter as 275/70R17.
