There can be only one!!

 

anything more handleing wise?

 

I love them. The only time I have had a problem with wheel hop was when they prep the track one time and I was launching the car at 1500 rpm's,it would hop about 3-times and stop. You could hear the tires sticking to the track when you staged that night.
Never had wheel hop on street tires.
