Terminator IRS wheel hop, and tire pressure.

[OETKB]

I'm running BFG gForce Comp2 275 40 17s on stock 9" rims.

I saw a post buried in the "what mods do you regret thread" that said soft tires and tire pressure cured wheel hop for that poster. Not sure how soft my tires are, but what tire pressure would y'all recommend to try and improve wheel hop in a stock set up. I'm not really worried about setting up "bad" wear patterns in the rear tires because the car doesn't get driven much, and I don't track it. But I do occasionally drive the snot out of it.

Soft Tires = Drag Radials

Wheel hop improvements:
1. Correct size bolts in lower IRS cradle.
2. Airbags in rear springs link
3. Full length Subframe Connectors
4. Poly front and rear differential bushings
5. Drag radials

What tire pressure?

Tire pressure won't help wheel hop with street tires. 32 PSIG for your tire size.

DR's... 18-20 psi. Not the same for street tires.

Damn you run them at 18-20?? I run 26.

OP even after the FTBR kit I would kit some light wheel hop if I started spinning from a stop. I didn't get any wheel hop if I started spinning while moving in 1st or 2nd.

Switched to drag radials and have no wheel hop whatsoever now.
