I think it is the compound makeup of the tire, maybe. I have the Kuhmo Ecsta 712's and mine don't really squeel even when I try to make them. I think they are a harder rubber.
Mine on my cougar didn't squeal until they were really worn. Then I slide sideways in a turn and they really squealed. Otherwise they would have more of a bass tone to them if they were ever over driven.
Cheap hard as rock...mileage getters..yup that's the Kumho Ecsta 712's!!! Not a performance tire by any means, but a decent "mileage" grocery getting tire...did I mention cheap

I don't think they are a bad handling tire at all. They handle great in the rain and during cornering. Of course they aren't a drag radial, but they haven't failed me yet.
