wheel hop and tires

[drillo99]

hey guys, I had dunlop tires on my car and had no wheel hop issues with them, I recently swithed to Falken azenis and now have mad wheel hop. Do you think the wheel hop is do to the better traction or the really stiff side walls of the azenis and the added weight. I put in motor mount inserts and have ggod shocks and springs and have not noticed any change, should i just change tires again? or keep working the suspenion, what do you think?

anyone?

Did you put inserts in all the motor mounts? Tires shouldn't have much to do with it since the Azenis are good tires.

Also, in the interest of your thread don't bump.

hey thanks for the reply, I only have the front and back inserts, I put them in after the tire swap to deal with the wheel hop. also I'm sorry but what do you mean by the thread thing I'm new at this. thanks

There is no street tire with stiffer sidewalls than an Azenis. That's the problem. You bought tires for a car that is actually steered, but all you do is launch and shift. Time to take up autoXing, instead.

well I like turning to but the wheel hop I get is just from giveing it a little gas from a roll as so as the boost hits which I belive would hamper autocrossing to but you do think that the wheel hop is from the side wall thikness? and I'd have less problems with another brand tire, say g-force'es

Nice clean ride also by the way.
