Default Tires Screeching on Turns...?

Hey all of my tires have a fairly good amount of tread left on them (80%ish)
However, I noticed that sometimes when i take sharp turns, my tires screech.
Could this be due to low air pressure? I checked them about a week ago, and they were fine, and they look fine now, but could that be the problem?
Why would my tires screech on turns like that, even when I am not going that fast?

Oh yeahhh it also happened when I cut the wheel and went in Reverse...I wasnt even going fast!

Sometimes its due to the pavement. I know this one specific shopping center where it happens to most everybody every time. It's really annoying to hear 10+ cars screeching at once.

I actually just realized that I have the same problem. I went around a turn today at maybe 15-20 mph (not sharp enough of a turn to make them screech) and it sounded like I was going sideways. I am checking my pressure tomorrow.

Just people acknowledging your 5.0, it's not the tires, well maybe them asking for you to make them squeal.

Haha I have Nankang NS IIs
And from what I heard on hear they aren't very good, but they still shouldn't screech while making simple turns. I'm going to check the tire pressure today
