4 tires changed, 4wd runs rough

I guess that's why the owner's manual says;

4 Hi
Use this for normal driving on WET, icy or snow covered PAVEMENT. This position provides greater traction than two-wheel drive. Top speed is limited to 60 mph.

Last year, I purchased and had installed 4 Michilins at Costco. After the tires were replaced, I notice a rubbing sound when I turn (but only if the car has been running for several minutes). I checked the tire clearance at different points of a turn, and the front tires are not near any rub points.

Initially, I thought it was the Power Steering laboring when I max out a turn, but it doesn't make that sound with the truck is not moving.

Could the Michilin's circumference be the problem if I replaced all four tires?

What else could it be?

The performance at high speeds have not changed, so I've been dealing with this noise for over a year now. I thought I'd take it to the dealer, but I'm afraid they might break my truck even more.

Thanks,

I have seen something as simple as uneven tire pressure cause this
