Seasons Greetings and Welcome to the Forum

The X drive cars are very sensitive to a difference in rolling radius of tyres (all AWD cars are) as you only changed the front tyres there could be that you are experiencing Transmission wind up. Reverse slowly on full lock if you feel any snatching or jerking then it is probably a tyre problem. Ideally all 4 tyres should be changed at the same time to try and ensure rolling radius is in tolerance. You should also make sure the same tyre/tread pattern is on each corner. Get apiece of chalk and make a mark at the bottom of a front and rear tyre, roll the car forward one revolution of the front tyre (chalk mark at the bottom) the rear should match if it doesn't there is the problem.

If it is a Tyre issue you will cause damage to the transfer case which is more expensive than tyres to fix.
