When I turn, my wheels squeal. I notice it more when in a parking lot, and more on new asphalt, but always nonetheless when I make a tight to semi-tight turn. I have wide wheels on it, like most Jeeps (Timberlines, I believe). What would cause this? Am I out of alignment? 98 Ford F150 XLT 68 Triumph TR250 When looking for a reason as to why things go wrong, never rule out sheer stupidity...

When changing the setback of the wheels the geometry is changed. THIS alone can cause tire wear and squeal when turning. The squeal is caused by tire SLIDE SIDEWAYS on the surface of the road.

Also 0 camber may help.
