Noisy tires

The tires on my Jeep squeal like banshees when turning. Is this normal? I use the stock Goodyear Wranger RT/S tires. They have a raised, fairly agressive tread pattern.

My guess is that the treads are causing the tires to squeal, but I am not sure.

Also, when I come to a stop, my front tires often lock up for an instant, start to skid, and then go back to normal. This happens even if I am stopping very gradually. If I really try, I can stop without locking my front wheels and causing the skid, but it's very difficult.

Anyone have any ideas as to what could be happening?

Dude, some things that I might be considering. Air pressure affecting the squeal. Anti-Lock break problem on the wheel locking.

Is it four wheel drive?

If so, have the transfer case mechanism checked. If it's electronic, could be a bad sensor. If mechanical, may just need adjustment. If it's two wheel drive, then I don't have a clue.
