Have you heard your tires squeaking when you accelerate, brake, or turn?
Of course, tire squeaking can happen if you’re driving on painted surfaces or a car garage, but what happens if you’re on the road?
Accelerating & Braking
When you accelerate, your tires spin at a much higher rate than what they were initially going. Your tires may slip before reaching full traction, which may cause a squeak or squealing sound effect.
In addition, braking abruptly will also cause squeaking or squealing sounds because your tires will have stopped suddenly after spinning at high speeds.
Underinflation
Underinflated tires can cause many problems for your vehicle, including emitting squeaking and squealing noises.
Low tires cause the sidewalls to flex too much and not generate enough traction to drive the vehicle smoothly. Turning your vehicle with underinflated tires can cause the rubber to slide sideways and squeal.
Uneven Tread Wear
The tread on your tires helps grip the road and propel it forward. When the tread starts to wear out or become uneven, braking will become more difficult and may even emit a squealing sound.
