I had Storms on my ST1100 and endured the wobble.
Went to Bridgestones and had no wobble at all.
Storms are sticky but squirmy.
At least on my 1100.

That is what I have found. They really like getting into a corner. They are also great in the rain. The small bit instability that get are easily combated by keeping my hands on the grips where they should be. It is never enough that I felt out of control. I do fell it though. I can easily control the shake with one hand so even if I am doing something on the GPS it isn't an issue. And it only happens while slowing while coasting (no brakes or engine braking). Other than that the bike wanders more when caught in rough winds like following a semi or large motorhome. I tend not to ride around them long so it is a non-issue as well.
Even when my old OEM Dunlops were new I would notice hydroplaning at speeds as low as 50 MPH. In the same conditions on the same roads I have gone 80MPH with the Storms and not a hint of hydroplaning. They are great in the rain and in the corners. So much so that I overlook any instability that they may have.
