I think that is something you just have to learn to deal with, it seems like that happens with any tire 245 or bigger. I really don't think there is any suspension mod to help with this. BUt, if anyone could prove me wrong I'd love to know.

A wider tire will follow the contours of the road, if the road has any ruts or grooves you will feel your car kinda follow those ruts. Feels almost like hydro plaining. I had 255's on my 2001 mustang and you could feel it alot, but I got used to it.

Correct toe and upper body work outs?

Beyond that, you got me too...

Mine does it too, freaked me out the first time it happened. I thought a had a broken link or something. then I noticed it always happened on the same road, on my way to work. No known cure except getting really skinny chick tires.

My 275/40's on the Cobra Track sometimes. Bad road conditions are the major culprit.

You might try adding more caster to your wheel alignment.
