    Default Excessive tire squealing. Just read lol

    So lately my tires which have only around 5k miles on them have been squealing excessively. For example doing like 60 degree corners at around 25-30 mph. Or starting at a stoplight, if there is a small amount of water on the ground they slip and squeal a few seconds before they catch.

    This may be suspension related. It might be on the original suspension. All 215k miles of it.

    Any reasons this could be happening? Or should I just slow down? Lol

    Lol if you hit boost when taking off slow down . might just be bad shocks letting all the weight move to the rear and causing less traction up front .

    try rotating them. you should be rotating every 6,000 miles. or every other oil change.

    I had something like that, squealing around corners and such.

    Bought something nice and they've been ever so silent and begging to be pushed much more.

    35 psi is what I run.

    Maybe you should just slow down.

    When you got the tires ..did you get an alignment?
    Did you whack anything since?
    30ish on a 60 degree corner...please...smack yourself, that's expected.


    If Dave feels 60% throttle is 100%, what does he tell his wife.

    Yes they were aligned.
    And yeah I curbed like a mofo last winter. I believe I warped my front left rotor from that

    This curbing was since the alignment?

    Sounds like you may have bent more than a rotor. Might have screwed up a tie rod end. Might want to have that alignment checked out again.
