Your tire pressure is too low. Radial tires sidewalls are hard not soft like slicks. The wheel hop is due to the sidewall not supporting the tire enough.

Wouldn't lowering the tire pressure reduce the tire's spring rate and increase it's damping?

I have no idea. But I do know that low tire pressure causes wheel hop on a radial tire.
