What, you mean you haven't learned to deal with the dreaded rain grooves.
Here is the straight poop. As mentioned in previous submissions, tires
with straight tread and no bias can cause nasty wobbles on grooves
(and steel grate bridges for that matter). Now everone knows that
riding across the grooves at a bias will abate the wobbles. So what
I do while I'm riding over the grooves is to simply steer back and
forth within my lane, introducing a bias (except at each apex of my
sine wave path). This will cure the wobbles even with Continental Tires
(by far the worst I have ever used). By the way Pirelli Phantoms are
very good on grooves.
