First incident happened around 75 mph, so I slowed to around 65 mph and it happened again, and then again around 55...

Has left me a bit unnerved to be honest, so jury is still out for me. I'm wondering if it is just a byproduct of the extreme width of these tires (in other words others aren't going to be significantly better), or the tread pattern (which is close to full depth right now)..
