I have my car on h&r sports with my oem shocks and a few months ago i picked up a set of kumho712's. At first I didn't really notice it but now I notice that the tires squeel quite a bit when going around corners fast. Its difficult to pinpoint which one/ones are squeeling though. I know lots of people here are running around on 712's I just want some feedback if anybody else is getting this problem. Besides a rear STB and the drop the car is all stock. They are 205/50/15's on my stock Si wheels. The tires are not the Z rated ones.....they are the V rated ones but that shouldn't really make that much of a difference.
Any idea's?

Street tires will squeel. Nothing to worry over.

yeah, i got the Z rated 712's...no squealing here...unless i'm dropping the clucth at 5-6K

well, I'm not talking about launching the car....I'm more concerned with cornering. I'm just curious was to why the tires squeel thats all. A friend of mine had a set of yoko a520's on his 97 Tib and they NEVER squeeled. Ever, and we took some hard turns.

happened with me too on 15s...
make sure there is 35 psi (or whatever suggested) because low tire pressure can cause squeeling around turns

i forgot to mention that my tire pressure is at 38psi. at all 4 corners cuz I wanted a stiff sidewall

Cover your tires in JDM WD-40 and they won't squeal.
