That's true..I forgot about that. If you've felt them both..they feel a little different..but you need to have felt them both first... If this makes sense, a loose headset feels more "discreet" rocking while the tire-induced feels more..spongy perhaps.

For the OP..still thinking a loose headset from the stem change.
