Issues after new tires installed

Has anyone ran into any other issues drivetrain wise from changing tire sizes ? 2021 with 41k and the stock pirelles finally were done so i got a set of the 295s LH-fives installed 2 weeks ago. Right after I started noticing that during slower (10-40mph) takeoffs that there are some bumps/knocks/hiccups that I can feel through the gas pedal, but it doesn't seem like the trans is slipping as it's not losing power and if you accelerate faster it can basically "run" through the bumps, if I put in sport mode and manual shift I can basically skip over the hiccups.

Do I need to reset the tire size for the body control or the TCU ?
A "tech" on FB said that the tires would destroy the trans but it doesn't seem like this is a common issue at all with all those others that have used these same tires .

This is also Awd, could it be an issue with the transfer case , possibly front axle issues ?
