I Have 35x12.50x17's On My 01 Silverado 4wd. The Tires Are Pro Comp A/t's. The Problem I'm Having Is This Week They Started To Squeal Around Corners And Slight Turns. Does Anyone Else Have Issues Like This With Big Tires? I'm In Arizona So I Thought It Might Be The Heat? Or Alignment? Help....

What about spindles or front end?

Maybe somebody swiped your wheels and you're driving on the hubs?

Alot of the time when this happens it is a combination of things. First your tire presure has increased, do to the excesive heat. Two is your wheel alignment is slightly out, 1 or 2/32s.

welcome to the hot roads of AZ, this happens constantly to me weather I am driving my truck with 31-10.50's or my car with 255/35-17's, it's the oil on the surface. but Tire pressure check and a alignment should be S.O.P. tires perssure monthly, rotation with oil change and a alignment once a year. your squeeling will stop after the first good moonson.

I hope so its annoying, I just got an alignment a couple months ago but i've been out camping since then and i'm not exactly easy on it when it hits the dirt.
