Dirt on the Road

I wasn't sure if this was the right place for this post....but here I go.

I live in the desert and it is common to have a little dirt on the road every once in a while. But the problem I am having is a collection of dirt in a turn. On some of the turns I frequent, there is a layer of dirt coming halfway into the turn.

On a few occasion I have gone into the turn and lost control a little bit as my rear wheel lost traction. I am getting a new set of Metzler tires (the ones that came with the bike are 8 years old :jawdrop and I am thinking this may help a little bit.

Any advice on dealing with dirt? (Other than bringing a broom and sweeping the turn before I go into it :lol: )
