So it's not a pressure thing.. hmm

I've been wanting to do some carefully controlled testing of the chalk method.
Maybe when the snow goes away and it gets warmer.

 

Wow really? I had an 08 and it done awesome in the snow. Kept it 3 yrs and grew a wild hair and traded for a 11 silverado crew cab and I didnt even keep it a year untill I traded for my 2012 unlimited sport and it does awesome. and both were bone stock...Hope you figure it out.

 

Why is no one asking this easy question: did you get snow trapped on the inside of the rim. I used to live in the Rockies and have had this happen on 2 different vehicles. Did the wheel hop go away after getting to a warmer place? If this is your problem then it would have behaved like a horribly balanced wheel. The faster the spin the worse the wobble. If this was your issue a minute and a stick is the cure. No need to get lost in details or retail therapy. Jks rock in snow. Your experience was definitely abberant.

It is always a pressure thing, but tires may have different tread softness and different sidewall rigidity -- so different tires of the same size may need different pressures.

Still, both ronjenx and I had stock Rubi tires, and the difference can't be that big (30 vs 37 psi).

On snow, airing down helps. Didn't you air down the Bronco ?

 

Newbie here... I was just in nw PA with about 6+ inches if snow and took it offroad for the first time since owning her. Love it! Used 4wd hi for the most part. Ran thru slushy snow, soft snow, hard snow and no matter what I did not experience any wheel hop. Even with the stock AT tires I was super pleased.cant wait to see where it can go with some 35"

 

Yes my problem is definitely odd, I have lots of questions for the dealership. But what mph was your "wheel hop" occur. I'm only in first in second.

let me ask this, who else has a '12 or '13 rubicon 6 speed? lots of you guys have older jeeps, maybe they changed something that makes the newer ones a victim to this problem.

 

I have an 11' and no wheel hop! Have you tried doing the steering wheel dance to turn off the traction control? Mines off all winter, gives me more control!

 

the only time i ever got wheel hop with the jeep is at full turn on a non snow or mud surface.
