Why do my tires squeal when turning?

Whenever I turn a corner, my tires squeal loudly. It’s annoying! Why do my tires squeal when turning?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Several things can make tires squeal when turning, for example, if you brake hard or accelerate into a turn. Lower-quality tires can be prone to more squealing when turning, too.
Here are a few more reasons that tires squeal when turning:
  • Tire air levels are too low
  • Low power steering fluid levels
  • Dirty power steering fluid
  • Loose power steering belt
  • Faulty bearings
  • Road conditions
As you’re checking why your tires might be squealing while you turn, it might also be worth taking another look at your
car insurance
 policy to ensure it still works for you. Luckily, the
Jerry
 app makes finding the right coverage at the right rate easier than ever.
Getting started takes less than a minute, and drivers who make a switch with Jerry save an average of $800+ per year on car insurance!

What Others Are Asking

What is a Mercedes-Benz disposition fee?
I turned in my leased GLC a few days ago, and I just got the lease-end paperwork. It looks like there’s a disposition fee. I thought I only had to pay it if I chose to lease another Benz. Could you explain what a Mercedes-Benz disposition fee is?
