Noticed some new rattles shortly after changing tires, could that be related?

A few days ago I changed from my winter 19" to summer 19" tires and made sure they're well inflated. Now on the drive to work I noticed a major rattle on the same bumpy stretch of road where I normally drive and I never noticed that before. It's pretty nasty, I think it starts at the lower dash around my left knee (if I smack it there I hear a similar rattle noise) but seems to reverberate up the A-pillar. Could changing tires affect rattles that much? The summer tires do ride differently, I wonder if that can be the only reason.

Something probably finally came loose over time, take it apart and see what's inside to adjust whatever is rattling. That's what I've done the couple times I've had an issue and I've been good since.

Hey, that has happened to me too. In my BMW I had a broken spring but didn't notice until after I changed from winter to summer tires. It was explained to me that this happens from time to time because when the car is lifted it the wheel hangs freely and if there is damage like this it may have previously been held in a certain way that didn't cause the noise, but after its lifted and the pressure released it shifts or falls in a different way when it is set back down. I Don't know if it is the same, but thought I'd share.
