If you hear a squealing sound when you’re making a turn, it could be several things.
An under inflated tire can cause some noise. Simply check your tire pressure and make sure your tires are all at the manufactures suggested pressure. Under inflated tires wear much faster, and can become safety issues. Low air pressure needs to be checked to make sure your tires aren’t leaking due to a puncture or other damage to the wheel.
Uneven tread wear, or worn out tires, may cause some noise. First, we would check to make sure the tires are in safe condition to drive.
