Low speed tire squeak

[Pweter]

Recently got rubicon takeoffs. I noticed at low speed tight corners (pulling into a parking spot, driving around a parking garage, etc) the front tires may squeak a little. Is this the result of the ko2’s just having a larger footprint? Or maybe alignment issue? It stays dead straight between the lines at highway speed so I’m thinking maybe not alignment. It’s nothing too concerning I just want to track it down. Happy thanksgiving!

My Firestones do it on smooth concrete. On straight axle vehicle the tires lean slightly as they turn, so the tread is being affected by several forces. As those tires break in, it will become less prevalent. You will still here it as you turn into your garage or pulling up to gas pumps where the lot os smooth concrete. All of my Wranglers and Super Duty trucks have been like that.
