It happens with all my burned games. I haven't had it happen with any retail PS2 games. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence or not. I'll test some of my retail PS2 games when my controller comes in.
is your PS2 on a solid surface (not carpet) with the vents unblocked (not crammed up against the wall of an entertainment center).
It's in an entertainment center with about a foot of free space behind it for ventilation. I usually keep the doors open for good measure.
Don't forget to clean the spindle as well, slipping spindles can definitely cause read errors. Clean both the lens and the spindle with alcohol on a q-tip and then dry it with the dry side (while it's off/unplugged, and not with the same q-tip of course). If it boots up a disc fine, you shouldn't need any adjustments.
I'll do this sometime tomorrow. I'll post the results.
