I have a 2005 TTS with UMW Flash (94 Octane) and an EP2.

I have noticed that when i floor it out of right hand corners, i get a lot of wheel hop. I have brand new tires. Now, it is quite cold in the great white north and i am running on summer tires (with very dry pavement of course). Could it be that the rubber is cold or is it something else? I have Gemballa springs....Any help is much appreciated.

 

Hi, First check your tire psi. Then adjust your rebound and dampening setting, If they are adjustable.

Pressure in the rear is 44PSI. I have 315/25/19 's in the back. As for the adjusting the dampening settings, I am not sure that i can.......

 

The increase in TQ is whats causing the hop.

 

i have 44lbs in the back aswell
no hopping issues whatsoever
315/25/19

 

Just switch the program back to stock and then tell me what happens!

 

running 18 or 19s?

 

19's.

 

19s.

 

I will certainly do that. But i don't recall it hopping on the stock file. But that was in the summer,,,and the reason for my thinking it may be just rubber being super cold.

 

Last time I asked this question (a few weeks ago, do a search) was told that running 18s would help out. I guess the thicker tire helps out.

 

Cold tires...hip hip hoppity.....

 

be careful on those bunny hops.... they can get really expensive in the form of AXELS !!!!!!!!!!!! amongst other things!!!!

 

I think the UMW flash is to blame ... damn UMW flash for giving you all that torque down low ... damn I say!!! LOL

 

I was suspecting this. I am going to ease of until the weather warms up and see what happens.
