Default Strange behavior with new tires

Hi,

I just put a new set of Nakang NS-2's on my 2005 A4 Quattro. (No haters, please, it's all I could afford right now). The tires seem fine, except that when I am driving on one particular stretch of highway that has some kind of groove in the pavement (parallel to the road), it feels like I'm getting some kind of side-to-side force around the rear of the car. The alignment is fine, and my mechanic is otherwise at a loss. Any other suggestions for things I can have him look at?

The behavior sounds like this:
Car Sways on some highways with noise reduction grooves?
