Wheel alignment would be your first step mate, No matter what tyres are on the vehicle they shouldn't squeel going round roundabouts sensibly, it sounds as if the tyre isn't in full contact with the road surface, try alignment first. PS I have a set of 17 sti rims with very good RE070 tyres that would fit and drive a treat on yr classic.

Could be too low tyre pressures?

Do you hoon round roundabouts alot? Is the N/S/F outer edge more worn than the others? If so, then it's YOU and your driving lol!.

Otherwise it could be that you're running not enough negative - or even into positive! - camber...
