every time i turn a corner.. i squeal.. i dont take them fast or anything.. so does this mean that i need new tires? or are they low on air? it didnt happen when it was cold out.. but not that it has started to warm up.. it happens at nearly every corner.. any suggestions?

Tires squealing could be because of several different things.
1. You're taking the turns too fast - which you say you're not.
2. Your tires are getting bald and can't seem to grip anymore - new tire
3. Your tires were already overinflated during the winter. The hot weather has caused the tires to swell up even more which is causing you to lose grip and squeal. Check your tires to make sure that they are around 32PSI for a passenger car. Check the inside of your driverside door for the correct PSI for your tires.
4. To check if your tires are balding, do the penny trick. If you can't see Lincoln's head, you're good to go. If you see most of his head, you need new tires.
Also, I do not agree that this is a possible alignment issue unless your wheels are WAAAAY out of alignment. If this was the case, you would either have a hard time keeping the car going straight, or both of your front tires would have to be exactly offset in order to compensate for the other's misalignment. I don't agree with tie rod ends either. Bad tie rod ends will cause your steering wheel to shake, or cause result in sloppiness in your turns.

You identified all of the reasons tires squeal in turns. Have a tire shop measure the tread depth and air pressure.

motor vehicle tires have a flat tread. bike tires have a rounded tread so they get traction whilst leaning in a corner. vehicles do no longer lean in corners. i might think of it would be risky to apply a motor vehicle tire on a bike, even on a cruiser or traveling bike. it fairly is considering which you would be scuffling with the bike to lean in a corner. If the bike might lean in a corner you will possibly experience up on the element wall which might provide little traction. i does not threat my existence to maintain a pair of greenbacks on a tire. Do it precise and use a tire designed for the activity.

well if you have a rear wheel drive you can spin the ties easley if you takeing a corner to fast if its a front wheel drive same thing it wont hurt to check the pressure in the tires also you might be out of aliment does your car tend to want to walk one way or the other?

have a tire shop check the tires for uneven wear. if this is the case, you may need a wheel aligment.

sometimes this can be caused by alignment issues. take it to a shop and have them check your alignment, some places will check for free.

Your wheels may be out of alignment. Have amechanic check it out.

i don't think that is your tire. If your car has considerable amount of mileage or if it's older, I suspect the tie rod.
