This happens with the summer tires. The RE050As are not intended to operate below 40*F. The soft compound hardens dramatically in cold weather and the tires effectively turn into hockey pucks. When you turn the wheel significantly (i.e. pulling in or out of a parking space), the front tires literally skip over the surface. That's where the noise is coming from.
