there are a number of factors that can come into play, and i have my doubts that it can be caused by tire sizes. people have been running the standard 235/35 265/30 and 275/30 for years without any single issue whatsoever.
Interesting - however, I put the same size tires on my car (225/35 | 265/30 - within the 1% rolling diameter difference and within 2 rpms) and immediately experienced the same issue as the OP. Binding when making tight turns and a feeling of slipping gears. This was not present on my stock setup and as soon as I took the above mentioned tires off and put stock sizes on the issue went away.
