Last few weeks I've noticed more and more on my Highlander (treads are down to 4-6/32 on each of the tires--Continental AT special, Control Contact Tour) that when I stop, and then turn sharply to the left or right, that there will be a very brief squealing sound, no more than half a second. I don't notice this when going straight from a full stop, or any other time.
Does this indicate aging or wearing down of the treads? Or could this happen at any point in the tire's life?
I am expecting to replace the tires this fall anyways, I just ask myself this question every time I hear the squeal.
