Default Re: Chirping the tires

Hey there. I just got my TCH in titanium silver a few weeks ago. I have about 1000km on it now.

I have definitely noticed that I can easily make the tires squeal (not intentionally) on the car. I also own a Mercedes ML320, and used to drive a '98 Nissan Altima, and the tires never squealed with them.
If I stomp on the accelerator from a dead stop, the TCH always squeals, and I've noticed it will squeal during sharp fast turns... but ones that aren't *that* fast... just moderately fast turns even. I never had this issue with either of the other two cars I mentioned.

So I guess it's just because of all the "instant" torque from the electric engine? Is this completely normal?
It was so odd to me when it happened because my other cars never ever squealed!
