"KY" ?? what are you doing when you get wheel hopping?

 

are you drag racing?

 

just hard take off where it should just spin a little it will wheel hop it even wheel
hops in 2nd and 3 gear from time to time

 

nah no drag racing i have a z31 with a 383 stroker in it for that

 

traction control. turn it off.

 

I changed my tires and I had no more wheelhop.
I still went with OEM because I got an amazing deal for all 4 of them.

 

05 mt it has no traction control that i know of

 

check again. after that tire pressure.. less is more.

I just recently encountered the same issue. Incredible wheel hop during a burnout. Granted I have had the car for 2 years and this was the first time that I've experienced anything like this. I normally play with the car around corners as I should...not stoplights. I wonder how much of a factor does temperature make? It was in the 50s. (17k miles on stock tires @ 31psi) From my searching this seems to happen to many IRS cars at any given RPM. Other than the obvious...'stop doing burnouts', any suggestions on how to keep the back tires planted firmly during a burnout?

 

a change of springs and shocks did it for me. and dont do burnouts.

How to do a burnout if the tires are firmly planted?
