After getting new tires bike feels strange,was thinking it might be steering stem bearings but after I the bike on lift they seem fine? Have put on tires and wheel lots of times and everything is right on so I am lost for now..just hope it's not the tires.

Who did tire mounting and wheel /tire reattachment on bike(yr/model/history or more please),how many tires and tire brand,model size etc.,where purchased.What brand tire size etc. on wheels before new tire(s) installed .Describe handling problems w/details.Is so that, you riding bike or not at present? Did you recently perform other work on bike or change/add accessories. -
Did you check the tire pressure?82 GS1100E

Hi,
Did you put on tires that were wider than the stock tires for the rim? Are the wheels aligned properly? How old are the tires? Did you check the date code? What bike? What tires? Are the brakes dragging? Anything at the rotors or pads pinched? All spacers in the right place on the axle? Steering stem nut too tight? Loose nut on the handlebars?
Thank you for your indulgence,

Hard to explain ,just feels wierd sorry thats the best I can do,If I remember right it might have started before tires it just got worse after tires ,these tires make my bike sit higher than before, usually get low profile tires but for some reason the bike shop got these and I hate them everything checks out but still think steering stem problem.can anyone point out good low profile tires was absent minded and didn't pay attention to old tire size or brand,the bikes has struts and 750 forks so the bike is lowered but always rode very well until now? its a 81 1100 eComment
