Tire squeal during low-speed turns typically indicates friction exceeding the tire’s grip threshold. This occurs when the forces acting on the tire surpass its ability to maintain adhesion with the road surface, resulting in an audible squealing sound. Factors contributing to this include tire compound, road surface conditions, vehicle weight distribution, and steering angle.
Understanding the root cause of this phenomenon is crucial for maintaining vehicle safety and optimizing tire lifespan. Addressing the underlying issues can prevent premature tire wear, improve handling, and ensure a quieter, more comfortable driving experience. Historically, this issue has been addressed through advancements in tire technology, suspension design, and road surface materials.
