Maybe it needs to be aligned?

What kind of tires are they dude? Sometimes tires just don't "match" the car very well and don't handle well and/or are noisy. Tire Rack tends to have good reviews on tires IMO, and they tell you things like "these tires are like driving on donuts, don't even try to do any cornering in them...they screech like crazy...etc."
I have always loved Michelin tires (since I run w/ stock steelies) but at $90 a tire for 175/70/13s, they were getting expensive, esp. since I hope to get some 15" Si wheels or Integra wheels soon..I recently bought some Yokohama Avid T-4's for $35/each and I love them...nice, relatively stiff sidewall, and they so far have taken whatever I throw at them. :)

Noisy tires.
The parking lot at the grocery store where I go was just resealed and now my truck squeals like a stuck pig when cutting a sharp turn there.
Don't worry about it.

Yea, im running some 175/70/13 michelin rated x's on the VX rims, and they are really nice, way better than that bridgestone crap I had.

the tires are goodyear runflats, the same ones i ahve on my car.....i dont have any problems with them.....also....how could ur alignment make your tires squeel? also if ur alignment was off wouldnt your wheel pull if you take ur hands off?

Ok first is this car unusually hard to turn the wheel. If so you may have a problem with the diff. in the tranny. As you go to U turn is it harder that a normal car or what it should feel like. If the diff is messed up it wil try to keep the tires goin the same speed making a tire squeel. Usually a diff will allow one wheel to spin faster than the other when turning. If it is not hard to turn CHECK TO SEE IF THEY PUT THE TIRES ON IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. hehehe

That was my solution when I couldnt get the seatbelt buzzer to turn off one time.
