Front wheel squeak noise when turning?

Hi there, I've started to notice some squeaky noise or tire rubbing asphalt noise from front wheel area only when I'm turning to stop. Has anyone noticed similar issue? could it be just tire noise? Please let me know If you have any clue.


Thanks in advance.

Possibly bad front struts/strut mounts even though your car seems to be too new for it

The Goodyear rsa is a noisey tire, I'm willing to bet that's the culprit assuming u haven't changed tires. I think there great tires in all weather, but just loud

Never had an issue like this with my good years and I'm still running them

Just go to your local firestone and get a 14 point inspection for $10. Mention your problem to them and they should check more specifically that area for you. If they can find the squeak in my car in 10 minutes that I couldn't figure out and dealt with for 8 months then they should be able to diagnose your problem.

I still think it's strut related especially for the member with a lowered car.

We'll then you'd be the only one, like I said good tires, just loud as hell, I'm sure others will chime in with the same

And why is he bringing it to firestone, it's a brand new car it should go straight to the dealer

In response to the Goodyear RS-A tires they are hands down the worst tie ever. They are very very noisy I replaced mine with Conti DWS' and wow what a difference not in handling but the noise level

He might be out of warranty based on mileage so I was just recommending an alternative since he doesn't want to deal with the dealer.

I still have extended warranty on my 2010 and I still went to Firestone over the dealer just do that they wouldn't hassle/document me about my mods and the problem actually turned out to be caused by a mod so I kinda dodged a bullet on that.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the comments!
I think its the noise from the tire. I guess the stock goodyear
is the problem source since I do not hear any noise on rainy day.
