Usually if a problem crops up it's a result of the last thing you did. You just had the tire changed and you don't think that might be the problem? Inspect it carefully looking for the bead to be mounted evenly all the way around both sides of the wheel.

Actually while breaking the bead the wheel could easily be bent if the guy didn't know what he was doing or was not careful.

i realized a few months back I hit a pot hole and that caused me to sideswipe a raised man hole cover,,I inspected the rim and heard no air so I thought it was ok... now we find out it was damaged and threw the tire off.. hence my wobble at slow speeds,
new tire and ordered rim.. hope its as good as new
