when does it "hop"? and maybe try to explain it differently if you can...vehicles don't really hop. When you balanced the tires were they roadforced or just balanced? try rotating the tires?

elaborate more on the hopping if you can. if you get them roadforced they can tell you if there's any cupping in the tires. or just running your hand over the tire you can tell if its really severe cupping. sometimes you have to rotate the tire 180 degrees on the wheel if theres a heavy spot.
