Enough has been said about tyres should get a separate channel & volume control, this is concerning when the sounds occur.
I don't drive fast in RL anymore but to my foggy memory.
1) Squeal starts way to early, I can still continue putting on power when they start squealing rather than thinking I am approaching the limit.
If its supposed to be a game aid warning you it doesn't work, should start later.
2) When the tyres actually let go or regain grip it is often accompanied by a little "chirrup" sound, GT sort of does sometimes when regaining grip.
3) When they are right on the limit tyres do often become noisy, however once they have let go the sound diminishes & changes to more of a scratching, skating across ice sound unless they are locked up.
There are some good tyre sounds in the game, the ones that happen less often like when you get wheel tramp that tell me whats happening but the general sounds seem wrong.
It does vary depending on the tyre, road surface & temperature but GT tarmac seems super noisy to me.
I would say generally tyres make the most noise when they are right on the limit & about to let go, this would be a helpful driving aid.
Of course sometimes in RL they don't actually warn with sound its more a feel & for sure some tyres give much more feedback than others.
From memory I would say GT assumes higher than average grip tarmac on a hot day with hot tyres for its sound model as this is when I seem to remember tyres squeal the most.
Comfort type tyres (harder compounds) I think are more prone to start squealing early than gripier ones though this is generalising.
