Check/tighten your head bearings. Do you have a rake kit? Set tire pressure at 41lbs.

​I'm guessing the shake was there before the new tire? How many miles on the bike? What make and model? Front bearings in good shape? Have you experimented with different front tire pressures? Is the shaking different on an asphalt road compared to a concrete road? As mentioned above, snugging your steering head bearings could be the answer and maybe the best place to start depending on how hard they are to get to. Having a FACTORY manual for the original bike can be worth its weight in gold if you're mechanically inclined. They'll explain how far is too far when tightening the head bearings. I've never owned a road bike that I didn't have a shop manual for. Working on your own bike, just starting out doing little things like changing the oil filter, will help you gain confidence to take on other things and in turn give you a more intimate knowledge of how and why your bike works the way it does.
