Time for new tires

I still have the original set of F1's on my truck and they dont sqeel at all, they dont even chirp on the 1-2 shift with my factory tech valve body. I am about to buy new tires soon, and I am probably getting 555r's. Will these tires chirp on the 1-2 shift?

Yeah, my Good Years never really did chirp on my 2001 which had a wicked shift into second. I had an H rated tire on it after that when I changed over to 20's, and they chirped LOUD! The only thing about an H-Rated tire is they are not good above 100MPH. ..you cn ask a tire shop what all that stuff means and see what they recommend. BK

My goodyears chirp after slowing down and catching traction about 20' down the road after the 1-2 shift. Sometimes iI have to lift a bit to let it catch when it starts sideways.

No! I just want the chirp. So is drifting considered lack of driver skill since the rear tires are always spinning?
