Tire question and problem !?

I have the stock General tires 235/85/16 or so, and didnt rotate them and started around 9500, the tires started cupping, with that whow, whow sound, so I was told by my tire guy, that on the longer wheelbase trucks you have to rotate them every 5000 or so or that will happen, and I wonder if the General tires are just not that good, so I think Ford is going to replace the 2 cupped tires, but if I wanted to change them out to say 285/75/16 would that screw up my Automatic 5 Speed (TSF) settings, or is the inch or two in height not to worry about....any help would be greatly appreciated.....

You could have the speedo reprogrammed to compensate for the larger tires.
