Default Slicks and wheelhop

So... I've never actually experienced wheelhop with slicks... I assume it's down to the large sidewall and low tire pressure as the reason it doesn't occur. But if anyone does suffer from this... let me know. Just curious.

Never had wheelhop on SLicks or DR's. Only on True street radials w/ high tire pressure. Even Azenis w/ dropped pressure will rarely hop. I'm also not to sure how much the sidewall has to do w/ it cause' I've made 100+ passes on 20x8's and they have a very short sidewall. I never had wheel hop on those either.

I have a set of brand new Lakewood Titanium traction bars that should cure your problem

PM me if interested.
