Downhill Turning Grind Noise

On most underground parking lots, its a very smooth concrete. Almost all tires squeal on these (shoulda heard my last truck's BFG All Terrains!). If your rubber is REALLY sticky, it'll grab and slip instead of just squeal. This will cause your vibration, especially when turning, when you have a smaller contact patch.

My tires are the stock tires (Pirelli P6's 16" 205s). Hmm....that could be it...but i know how the squeal of the tires sounds and its different. This feels more internal (you know how you can feel the car since you're sitting in it? The car almost feels like its an extension of your body and im sure the grinding is not coming from the tires but more internal.....is it called the axel?). The short and small grind/vibration happens when im straightening out (after the descending turn) more so than on the actual turn itself.

Be the change you want to see in this world.
