Tyre Screetch!

Have recently put 4 Mitchelin Pilot Sports on MY02 WRX.
Seem to grip ok but give a constant screetch when going around sharp corners or roundabouts at speed.
The original Bridgestone tyres I used to have didn't do this.
I have checked tyre pressures but they seem fine.
Is this normal or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Screeching will be the fact that these tyres will lose grip earlier than your previous Bridgestones (even if they are they dreaded OEM ones 
) and lots earlier than Toyos or Goodyear Eagle F1's

Just want to add that I put a set of Michelin Pilot Sports on my STi7 PPP, and I get alot of tyre screech from them, especially going around roundabouts! The original Bridgestones didn't fuss at all! I'm still running on original 17" rims.
Obviously these tyres aren't up to it, but would changing to 18" wheels improve handling of STi7 noticeably? If so, what wheels/rubber combination?
Cheers
