315s wheel hop know!

I went to 315 s Pilot Sports and wheel hop is horrible .. I had 295 Vredestein tires and had no wheel hop and better grip than the 315s.
also the 315s seem to jerk me around more on uneven road surface ?

Could the additional tire width cause this? or the Tire brand it self ?

Think I am going back to the Vredestein's!!

I don't know if I can help with those specific brands, but just as a general rule; the better the traction, the less the wheel hop.

You have a little less sidewall now to absorb harmonices...same tire psi, air temperature and road surface?

I have the 315 PS2's and have no wheel hop what so ever. They are hooked up all of the time.
