Tires that size need to be carefully balanced. What may translate as a little vibration in a smaller tire will be a pronounced wobble in a tire that size. Keep in mind too, that you just added quite a bit if unsprung weight to those axles and any worn or weak bushings, hardware and suspension components are getting a tougher workout than before. Take some tie to closely inspect the suspension and steering components for wear and play.
