I changed the tires on my bike, which I thought went okay, but when I went for a ride I felt a wobble in the rear. See the the video attached.
What could be causing it? I did not feel it before, I’ve used the bike for half a year. I don’t see signs of a pinched inner tube on the tires if that matters.

Did the tire get seated correctly all the way around? Check the sidewalls to see.
Looks like the bead is not seated correctly.
Deflate your tire and add some soapy water where it’s not popping (or all around if you feel like it) and then reinflate. You might hear a POP but that’s just the tire setting in.
Tire isn’t seated around properly. You should see the bead ALL around.
Deflate. Soapy water. Inflate.
Taking it off a sweet jump will seat the tire.
JK, deflate and spray soapy water on the bead and inflate again. The bead is just sticking somewhere.
Maybe the tube is twisted? Assuming you have a tube.
Tire is not seated properly. Lower the pressure until really soft, like 5 to 10 psi. Grab the area of the tire that is dipping low, and firmly wiggle it side to side, up and down. It might pop into place. If not, try at a higher pressure.
