Does making the tire pressure higher get rid of tire squeel in corners?

Default I'm back photoshoot.

No, because you will have less rubber on the road,
and with less of a footprint you will lose traction.
You'll also wear your rubber out faster by raising the PSI.
Tire squeal means you are taking a corner to fast,and is losing traction.
or you need new tires.

the only thing you can really do to correct the issue is by adjusting your camber. ...but pre-mature tire wear will result .

Depends... Whats your tire pressure? Most tires are rated @ 36-44 PSI.. If your above, id say, 30 PSI, then your tires might need to be replaced..

I dunno of any street tires that should be @ 25 PSI.. Check the sidewall for proper inflation.. Should be 36-44 PSI.. Get em filled ASAP before it damages the tire..!!

Usually sqeeling means that you need new tires, but I dunno what's wrong with your new ones.... inflate them a lil see whats up smile.gif

Default Component speaker woes

They have tire inflation recommendations for a reason ^^ lol.gif Dont drop your tire pressure to get better traction @ "the races" lol.gif I know its easy to drop pressure.. I noticed a bit of sag in my tires the other day, checked the pressure and it was at 30-32 PSI, down from 44 PSI 2 months ago.. After seeing the drop, I think im going to check them every few weeks now..

Default FS : stock parts and other stuff

Umm, ... 44 PSI is the MAX limit under LOAD.

I asked a profesional wheel & Tire guy (who owns his own shop for 20 years)
and he said for 205/40 profile tires, you should keep them at 30 - 32 PSI.

you are over inflating your tires my friend wink1.gif

Also I remember seeing on Webtech (tried looking again but could'nt find it)
it said for 215/40/17 tires to keep them at 30 PSI front, 32 PSI rear.

*Dont inflate your tires to the maximum PSI!

I'd like to see documented proof of what P.S.I, low profile tires should be at.
