Jack up your wheels and measure the circumference of the tyres at the centres using a dress makers tape measure, or carefully with a non stretch string, making sure this does not fall into a tread groove. If your measurements are within say a quarter inch you can rest in peace. If not you must do something about it.

If you have shops dealing in second hand tyres as we do here they could sort it out for you at minimal expense by doing a swop.
Do the different size tires cause it to always be in slip mode? Would that cause the shuddering? I'm going to have stanly subaru look at my car in 2 days when I get back from Portland. I told them of the shuddering and they are goning to look at it. I my self have no way of lifting the entire car up to check the tires. So I have to depend on them to do it.
