Actually when you hear the tires screeching you've already pushed past the limits of your tires. Most novice drivers usually drive 12/10ths instead 9/10ths or 10/10ths.

My recommendation for novices is to turn on your A/C cause it will limit your car to 9/10ths, and the most you can drive your car is 9/10ths.
