Tire screeching?

Does the type of tire correlate to the amount of screeching when accelerating fast? i got A/S 3 michelin pilot tires and when i start to accelerate fast from a slow speed i always hear a loud screech as i begin to speed up, would tires like the supersports minimize the screeching or is this common with all tires no matter what?

The softer the tires, the less they will complain. UTQG rating. The lower the number, the better the grip (dry), and the faster they wear.
A/S 3 grips amazingly well for a 500 rating (in warm weather).

thanks for the reply, so its based on rating, would the pilot supersports screech less than the pilot a/s 3?

everyone seems to recommend the supersports so i dont know if i made the right decision going with the a/s3 tires, there is a lot of rain in my area so i went with the a/s3

I don't remember getting much screech with as3, how cold is your weather? Rear tires don't last long anyway, try them all.

it is in all weather conditions, when i start to accelerate quickly from a slow speed i always get an initial loud screech every time but im not sure if it happens with all tires or if its because something is wrong

im getting the tire screeching whenever im accelerating from low speeds to faster speeds and putting some hard acceleration on the vehicle, it happens everytime when starting to accelerate fast from a slow speed....is this normal with any tire or is it possible there is some other problem?

I do know my front brake pads are low but the tire condition themselves are in good shape cause i just bought the tires 4 months ago

Check closely for rubbing. The rear suspension flexes a lot, especially if you have a bad bushing somewhere.
