Help with wheel hop

lately i have been having quite a bit of a problem with wheel hop. my stock tires are back on and i do not know if it is because of the little tread on them, the cold weather, or the motor mounts. it just seems that an time i even try to launch it above 4k recently the car starts shakinglike crazy and hopping alot. i had the stock tires back on for about a month, but the problem didn't start untill a little bit ago. it used to happen when i went to the track with my rims, but that was launching around 5k and up. any suggestions? are there any motor mount inserts i can purchase to stop the wheel hop?

Sounds like my problem. I didn't know what it was until I go to put my rims on. They tell me the suspension is messed up and that caused uneven tire wear. The sides of my tread is almost gone, and I feel crazy vibration over 65mph. It's the tires.

its not when im cruising, its just when i launch. and if it is when you going over a certain speed it can be the balancing because my friend had that same problem over 65 and then he got them balanced and everything was fine after that.

Still won't hurt to have the suspension checked or even your tires. I just had mine balanced with the new rims and it still does it. Tires are just uneven I guess.
