tire squel
Why when you make a turn quickly the tires squel?
is it because of low air pressure
or just because the tires aren't gripping
or a reason i didn't list?
thanks

there's a turn I take coming home from work, and almost every time, my tires squeal, and I'm going like, 20mph.
Isn't it just a tire losing traction? that could be from low air pressure, or low tread, or just...being beyond the point that your tires hold. My tires have good tread, 30psi in every tire.
I've driven with 0psi in a tire before...fortunately it was a run-flat, and I didn't realize it until at least 300 miles or so. I kept putting air in...and it kept leaking out. Eventually someone told me when I went to get 4 new tires, that I had a run-flat tire, and it was flat.

Shouldn't the question be "why are they losing their grip?"
Several answers for that. Low air pressure, high air pressure, rubber too soft, rubber too hard, improper alignment, chassis setup. It's something trackers spend the whole season adjusting.
