Wheel hop Ugh... Tires: BFG KDW-2 or KUMHO MX?

Based on my research I'd decided to get the KUMHO MX's to help with my wheel hop madness. This is based on: a budget tire, decent grip, and softer sidewalls. Then, I see that the BFG KDW-2 are on sale for cheaper than the MX's. The BFGs are rated "ultra high performance" and this, direct quote tirerack.

"The g-Force T/A KDW-2 tires feature g-Control sidewall inserts to resist deflection and generate cornering force while rim protector ribs help protect alloy wheels from curb damage."

Will this make the tire another "wheel hop special"?
My main concern is wheel hop off the line. I have inserts.

Thanks.
 
I have the MX's with inserts (17" wheels) and have no wheel hop....it seems the MX spin if cold or grip like hell when hot.

Of coarse you dont have wheel hop, you have AWD. If you think your experiencing wheel hop in your GSX, come for a ride in my GST.

If you have adjustable shocks, stiffen up the rear and loosen up the front. That may help a little.
 
toyo prox ts or fuzion's

when I had my gst both of those gripped like hell wet/dry/warm/cold

plus they have good reviews @ 1010tire and are pretty cheap, you can find fuzions for about 98 each and prox's for about 150.

FYI i have fuzions now on my gsx, love them..
