I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S but I'm still in break in so I can't test it for you. But in about a week I will be at 1200 miles and will post.

Welp, it's real cold in Jersey now and those tires get real hard and lose their gripping ability when it is below 40 degrees, so wait till the spring and maybe you won't have so much wheel hop.

I thought bushings or something was the cure for wheel hop, tread was only a part of the equation.

Yeah they both probably factor in to wheel hop somehow.
