I am not sure if it was the tires? or is it that my sub frame bushings are getting old !! after 11 years !! I remember with SO2, I never had wheel hop at all !! I have to try SO2 again to see if it those tires are crappy or the bushings getting old !! otherwise, the handling is just perfect with those tires !! I have Toyo on the rear and Nitto on the front !!
