Question New Tires, Now Jumpy Turning

I just got some new tires on my car, ko2 all terrain. Ever since I got the new tires, when I am driving slow and turning as sharply as I can, the front tires seem to skid or jump. It's almost squeaky its hard to explain. Never have had that issue before, but this is the first time I have gotten some tires that arent basic economy ones. Is this normal for the tires? Any input is appreciated, googling I couldn't find a straight answer.

Could this be caused by non-OEM rims with a greater than standard offset, or are your rims standard LR D2 rims? Alternatively, your alignment might be out.

I have the standard oem rims, got larger sized tires though if that changes things. I did get an alignment before and everything was fine.

You tires are probably rubbing on the body/chassis some place. What size tire is it? Once you full
loxk turn get or have someone turn the wheel so you can check.

can you feel them slipping or just hear them?

with certain surfaces new tires can make the squeaky sound at low speed turns. it will go away.

if the tires where hitting the radius arms at full turn that would sound more like a rubber grinding.

So I just went outside and had the wife crack the steering all the way to one side, and sure enough the tire was rubbing on the bumper some. Will probably just cut a slice off the bottom of the bumper where it rubs Thanks for the input everyone who chimed in
