Will LARGER tires on my car makle them squeak?

Question

I have a 94 Lumina Car, I recently bought two newer/used tires for my front wheels, and had a front wheel alignment done. Now my tires constantly squeak when turning, even when Im driving straight they squeak.

The older ones were /70's, and the newer ones are now /75's

Any answers would be appreciated.

THANK YOU

Answer 1

dude, your tires are oversized...they are rubbing somewhere.

Answer 2

Tires do not squeak unless they are under inflated, and then only when making a turn. Take the car back to whoever sold them and have them check the lug nuts and also the brakes. There is another possibility; The larger tires may be rubbing some part of the car.

Answer 3

no they should not squeek... the only thing you need to check is the taller tire is not hitting the  tie-rod end when you turn or the spring perch on the strut. if its not hitting anywhere.. and you dont see a "rub-mark" on anything, your wheels are not tight ... there is nothing else that would cause them to squeek..
