Valve Bounce has been held in scrutiny for further testing
Aparently the grooved tyres are costly to manufacture, and the introduction of grooved tyres resulted in Goodyear pulling out of F1. Now Goodyear is interested in coming back, for what ever reason is not clear yet, except that their quick decision to pull out was made in haste and could be spitting the dummy. Having said that, I don't think that grooves will be dumped before Max is dumped, because Professor Max is not going to admit he was wrong, EVER. For me, watching the races on TV makes very little difference whether the tyres are grooved or not - I hardly even notice them anymore.
