i have some yokohamas on my stock 14 inch wheels, when i make turns at like lets say 20mph i hear chirping, you know like i am going hella fast or something, does this mean that my wheels are sliding or does it mean that they are sticking. I dont really feel anything different, but i dont want to be surprised someday if i spin out in the middle of the road or something.

it means they're slipping. good grip makes no noise.
if your car is lowered, get it aligned. the camber is probably what's causing the problem.
if it's aligned properly, then it's the tyres. yokohamas are considered good tyres only in the states.

It's going to be an alignment problem. My tires did the same thing, but it was after its lowered. You go around a soft turn slow, and it was squealing because the toe was off. Get it fixed ASAP, cause incorrect toe will eat your tires quick

check yer tire pressure. that would be my first guess and easiest to fix. if they are low, they squeal real easily. peace
