Excessive Tire Squeal When Turning (21”)

[bd5400]

Has anyone noticed an unusual amount of tire squeal from the 21” tires, even at very low speeds? My tires squeal frequently when turning, even slowly, and I’m getting a lot of looks because people think I’m speeding around.

I’m not sure if it’s new or if I’m just noticing it more as it’s annoying me more, but I can’t tell if it’s normal at this point. Pressures are correct, alignment seems fine and I’m not seeing any unusual wear patterns on the tread so I’m out of ideas.

Yes, was going to post about this too but Home Depot was out of round tuits. I was thinking maybe it was temp-related but I don’t remember having this problem last summer. My inflation (according to TPMS) is A-OK, so…

Could it be some kind of motor synchronization issue?

Noticed this too but just attributed this to a 7000 lbs object turning on asphalt. I also drive a 30 ft ICE truck that never squeals but it also doesn't have the torque.

The only time I get squeals is when I deserve it. Making the truck work hard.

My R1T only does it when I am driving around town in conserve mode.

Mine started squeezing too. 21" with 12,000 miles. Never noticed it until last month. Not going fast at all. I rotate every 5,000. A little annoying and embarrassing.

Mine does this too, just slowly turning into parking stalls. Check your front tires for chunking. I’m at 1200 miles and am already losing small chunks of rubber from the tread.
