Tires Squealing On Turns

Recommended Posts

My terminology is weak so excuse anything that sounds stupid but my tires squeal like crazy when I'm turning (sweeping turn or sharp).  I just replaced a ton of stuff including Bilstein HDs front/rear, IE Stage I springs, Ball Joints, Control Arms, all new Urethane Bushings, new bushings/end links on existing ST Bars front and rear...I also installed the negative camber plate based on the recommendation of Ireland.

 

So the car rides like new and handles well... but it squeals... People look at me in my neighborhood like I'm Andretti, but I'm not going all that fast.  The squeal is misleading to pedestrians....

 

All this work done but I'm still riding on 13" steel wheels with an off brand tire with good tread.

 

My friend says its the camber that is causing this.  Is that the case?  Is it the tires? Something else?

 

Again, the car feels solid in a long sweeping turn, but the squealing is 1. annoying  2. misleading and 3. makes me feel like I'm burning through tires.

 

Thanks.

It's the tyres, squealing is mostly down to compound.

I had Yokohama A539s that squealed like a pig in a tumble dryer, even at slow speeds long before I reach their limits, on the other hand, my Pirelli P7s won't even chirp when in a full drift.

Same car, same tyre size.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
