Default Wheel Hop At Tight Turns
When I turn steering all the way to the left or right at slow speeds (5mph) seems like my wheel hops. Feels something like when pick up truck is in 4-wheel drive. Is this normal?

Only normal on the GY OEM run crap tires. I switched away to Nitto's and the problem went away immediately.
