Tyres Squeaking

[ewhat]

So I just got new tyres fitted onto my eg, It squeaks when I go around a round-about. Not sure if it's my wheel alignment or I heard that it may be my brake pads?

What do you guys think?

Might be none of the above, or all of the above. Because can't diagnose sounds over internet.

Did it do it before the new tyres ? did you get a wheel alignment with your new tyres ?

If its tyre screech then it could be wheel alignment i.e. camber incorrect

I agree with cbauto, but if having just fitted new tyres without getting an alignment done, that's just silly. Maybe that helped wear out the previous set. While you're getting it done, ask the mechanic to check all your steering links, wheel bearings etc for play or looseness. He should do this anyway as any worn parts will prevent him carrying out the alignment correctly, but there's no harm in asking first. Too much play (wear) in the wheel bearings will allow the wheel/discs to tilt in relation to the brakes (disc or drum) and yes, could cause a noise whether the pads are worn or not.

Yeah it's a screeching noise as if I'm going to spin out but really I'm just turning or going around a round-about.

Is it a brick layered road?

[ewhat]

Nope, normal driving roads. It also happens when driving over markings on the road.

Do you have a D14 ?

Then it's too much torque transferring to the tyres.

What tyres were fitted? Most brands tend to squel alot more than others

[EKVTIR-T]

is it same size tyre as previous one?

visually inspect tyres for signs of rubbing and chafing

Wheel alignment, low tyre pressure

When I first bought the car it never squeals, new tyres are continental ContiPremiumContact 2 195/45/15 as original tyres were when the car was purchased. I'm going to start by getting a wheel alignment before anything and I'll see how it goes from there, thanks for help guys!
