Default Garage door sounds like straining

I recently swapped out all the rollers from my garage door aside from the two
bottoms ones as they have the tension and am looking to do that job next week.
Anyways with most of the rollers swapped to brand new nylon rollers now my
motor sounds like it is straining. The previous rollers were pretty shot and I
dont see how new ones would make the motor sound worse. Any ideas? I have
lubricated everything and the only change was old rollers for new ones.


What does the door feel like when you unlatch it and move it by hand?
If you have torsion springs they may need adjusting or you might just
have a bind because the new rollers are not aligned to the track..
