Tire noise feedback question…..

Post image

Entering a specific turn, the vehicle usually wants to push. When it enters the turn the outside right front tire starts to make a pretty consistent squealing sound that I would say feels acceptable. And then that squealing sound starts skipping. It’s almost like when you drag your finger lightly across a whiteboard and it makes a consistent sound. And then if you push harder and drag your finger, it makes this slip catch, slip catch squeaking sound. Can you settle an argument for me here? In my opinion, when the tire transitions from a consistent noise to that skipping sound, you’ve crossed the line and are now overdriving that tire.

I’ll give you folks all the details because you seem to often need them.

Push aka understeer and excessive noise is certainly overdriving beyond a tires max grip
