Often you cannot see the road level difference. The tire track areas gradually sink a bit especially where there is heavy truck traffic. The tires nibble and fight side to side in this "groove". Some tires make this more noticeable.

Thanks Modshack. That was a good read. I was dumbfounded at first. Thanks for the helpful info.
