You talk about it like its a predefined figure, which could only be the case if conditions, circumstances and driver control never varied.
    Oh sorry, the tyres i have experience with still have given me a fair bit of grip if i push a little harder then when it starts to screech, i could be confusing 'lack of grip' with 'lack of control' though as sometimes you can slide a little without what i call a lack in control, i hope that explains a bit closer to what i meant.

    Thats the specific surface found in car parks, nothing to do with bitumen or concrete surfaces

    Yes stuff is applied to make oil/grease/grim easier to wash away. Its a kinf of silicon sealant, and is why the floors always look shiney.

    Just updating this - problem sorted. I can go around corners without the noise.

    The problem (apparently) was dead front sway bar bushes. That's been the only change I've made; new superoo D-bushes and corners happen quietly.

    FYI - changing front sway bar bushes one handed is a C@#T! of a job. Holding the retaining plate up and trying to get the bolts started drove me freakin' bonkers.
    I'm not a complete idiot - some bits are missing.

    Adelaide airport multi story car park is fairly new and brilliant at low speed tyre screeching to frighten the tourists!
