Default need some help fellas

Sup guys been a while since i been on here. The other day I noticed when I had my truck in 4x4 when I hit a part of the road where there was little to no snow I had a shake in my front end but when I was on snowy road my front end didn't shake at all... any @suggestions?
I haven't been on in a while cuz I finally graduated college and got a job and been workin alot of hours. Which means more money which in turn means new nods . I have got all the gear. 3 inch body lift which I am installing. As for the tires I want 35s. I like the kumo mt and the 35x12.5x17 are like 250 bucksbut the 315/70/17 are 210 bucks???? Ain't they pretty much the same size tire? With a 40 dollar difference per tire?

Moved to the Gen section due to non-technical.

Google can convert those tire sizes for you. It may just come down to preference.

I think the Kuhmo M/Ts are great looking tires. I havent seen them in 17s though, ive only seen them in the thinner rubber sizes.

Those fierce attitudes are pretty cheap and are supposedly pretty good

Without looking on their website, it's possible the 35s are LT tires and the 315s are a P rated tire, that would make a price difference. Also the 35s could have a higher weight handling rating than the other ones, again this would mean a price difference. Or, it just may be the 35s are in higher demand and command a steeper price...

I think its the last one. Not even the demand issue. They know the tires arnt as easy to come by and if you are wanting 35s, you are willing to pay more. Kinda how tires for a 20in rim have significantly less rubber and require less sidewall structure but cost hundreds more. They know if you are into modding enough to put 20s on, then you are setting enough money aside to buy more expensive tires

I hate it for the guys who buy 38s for their 24in rims. Its ridiculous

Thanks dudes I will double check the ratings on the tires and just call the dealer and ask. But as for size bout same hieght just 315 just wider. I like the look of the kumos but I heard they were noisy but I like noisy.
Weed- I posted this in this section cause I asked about the bad shake I have on wet/ little snow on the roads compared to fully covered in snow and what u guys thought is making it shake.

Cj- 315 is 34.6x12.7 and 35s are 34.8x12.5..... no difference really

I would say the shake is because on the dry surfaces the truck locked in 4x4 is pulling and pushing at the same time with no snow or mud to help it slide a little. They say not to run in 4x4 on dry surfaces for this reason... ever try to turn on a dry surface in 4x4 isnt very good.
