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. ty
