Default squealing wheels?
Does anybody else's wheels squeal when they turn the steering wheel or try to make a quick turn?

At what speeds? The only time I've heard any noise (and it was more of a scrubbing sound) was when I went around hairpin turn too fast.

If I turn my wheels while parking, they squeal. If I have to make a quick turn, I kind of peel out. Is that normal? I'm not like gunning it to make a turn, I'm just hitting the acceleration a little harder than normal.

ginway: The MG2 has a lots of torque, I do believe that what you are doing is using MG2 at this time.( when pulling out quickly, that is)

ok, that's the explain I got from the boyfriend. I feel kind of stupid when it happens though, haha. I just wonder how many of the other people on the road with me know that I just have too much darn torque. hahaha.

Squealing the tires is a good thing as this means you have more power/torque then you actually need (common misconception of Hybrid vehicles)

Small correction: wheels don't squeal, tires do.

My tires squeal quite often when I'm making a turn from a dead stop. Note that I do not get tire squeal when I go straight from a dead stop.
