With 235/70R15, you have a smaller rolling diameter (3.5%). So, your speedo
error will increase somewhat, your odometer will read high by 3.5, and your gas
mileage will drop a bit. However, you will have a little better steering
response at high speeds. I have 235/70 on the front of one of my 68's, but
have the 75's on the back for better gearing.

Usually, when the vobration occurs at higher speeds, its tires. However, with
sepatated tires, you should feel a shake even at low speeds. Sometimes, if the
separation is too small to affect the balance, you may not feel a thing at
highway speeds.
