For me the 880 metzlers work better on ribbed roads than the lazer tec's. But generally if you just relax and ride as normal you'll find they really don't bother you all that much. Usuall, but not always the center of the road has a little less groove to it. But as other's have said, relax and just let it flow. When you find youself caught in traffic knocking out 70 plus mph with nowhere to hide you'll learn....
