Default Squeally o/s/f tyre -

I've noticed 2 or 3 times that the front right tyre squeals with full power-on in second gear with right lock - typically out of roundabouts.


Classic fitted with the 205 / 50-16 Uniroyal Rainsport 2's it had when I got it. 6 mm tread depth, correct tyre pressures all round.


Is it just the tyre that's not great in the dry, or something else worth looking at (bushes / shocks etc?). There's no other symptoms to suggest the suspension is tired on that corner.

Full power in 2nd on lock off roundabouts? I wouldn't worry too much as your tyres will probably need changing soon anyway.... Or the rozzers will get yer

It's been a while but I'm guessing the tyres aren't known for being dry tyres, what with them being call Rainsports ? Previous Audis coped with the same treatment (no I don't drive like that much) but were on Contis
