Wheel Hop

Do you guys have a lot of wheel hop with hard acceleration through 1st gear?

noticed it a few times but it was a little wet from melting snow, and also cold temps. I think these tires should have better grip in warmer weather. How cold is it there?

exactly i would imagine the potenza summer tires grip best on warm sun baked concrete....also when its roughly 50+ degrees out....warmer the better with them summers...especially after the tires heat up from some spirited driving....

if u are in below 35 degree weather with snowfall/leftover piles of snow, cold ground etc i believe u get more wheel hop from summer tires...
