Let's see here. I gather your steering was okay before you changed tires. There's nothing inherent about changing tires that should have any effect on steering efforts. The thought does occur, however, that if you damaged something in the course of jacking up the car, like a tierod, that could affect steering.

You're going to need to look closely at the whole stering and front suspension, perhaps while a helper turns the steering wheel and see if you can find any evidence of binding or interference. This might require getting under there while the car is resting on the wheels, so you'll need either a hoist that lifts by the wheels or a pit under the car.
