did you get your suspension aligned? you probably should everytime you change your wheel/tire setup. something might be rubbing.

how fast is 'a little fast'?

nobody want to mention the fact that tire squeal at high speeds indicates you are going to fast for the turn?

suspension setup or not, if you're squealing tires while cornering, you're at the threshold of the grip for your tires.

while it's important to have your alignment checked somewhat regularly... your alignment is not going to change or get "messed up" from different wheels or tires.
