Autocross here I come!

A squealing street tire is a happy tire, however it does need to be applied productively. Cranking the wheel more when you have understeer for example usually doesn't help much.

Slicks don't squeal unless you spin, so no, you don't want to be hearing these

I was told along time ago that, "if your tire ain't squealing, you ain't going fast enough!"
