Forester Tyres Screeching

[brian]

My 03 XS Forester's tyers screech when cornering at roundabouts even when
traveling at very low speeds.

I test drove a 02 and never had this happen.
First thought it was tyre presure could it be the car or tyres?
Should this be checked by Subaru service depot?

Yokohama Geolanders I presume ? That would explain it, they do the same on
my Outback - they have a very soft, squirmy tread pattern and sidewalls.
What tyre pressures are you running ?

I have a 99 GT with Geolanders and find I have to push pretty hard to get
them to complain... I do run pressures 2-3 lb higher than recommended....
the other thing to check would be wheel alignment.

My 03 XS started squeeling around corners when the weather got cold.
Tire pressure had gone down a bit from its hot weather peak. Put it
back up where it should be and problem went away. (Original Geolandar
tires)

My 2000 Forester almost never make noise with Geolanders. I would recheck
tire pressure with a GOOD digital gage when the tires are over-night cold.
