I've driven in lots of snow; don't recall getting wheel hop with my regular Rubi tires.
These tire have performed very well in snow, but are quite bad on ice.

I'm not sure I'd be so quick to smash jeeps in the snow. I'm from canada and frequent the northern parts often. I'm yet to see another stock vehicle (H1 exempt) to handle any better in the snow then a jeep.. Let alone a locked rubi. When on the road in a snowstorm your lucky to see a jeep bail in the ditch once in a blue moon. 90% of vehicles on the trails are jeeps and they're one hell of a vehicle.
It's no doubt jeeps have their quirks like every other vehicle but I'd say it faaaaaar from sucks and I'm sure everyone in this forum can agree.
Like mentioned a few posts above, go find some untouched snow and go experiment and see what works and have fun

It says 37 on the data sticker for the stock tires, so that's what I run. Mt tire wear is very even at that pressure.
I have 60,000 miles on them with about 8/32" remaining.

That's strange, because I got mine with "sticker pressure", chalk tested, and went down to 30 psi to get them sit flat.
