Squeaky tires in parking lots

Is it just my tires or do other 4runners sound like they are going 40mph in parking lots when going 2mph around turns?
No major lift. Michelin defender tires

Mine does the same on SOME parking lots, not all, so I think it has to do with the particular lot surface and maybe even the weather conditions.
 
The tires are 4 years old with about 45k miles on them. Mostly highway and one more season in them so it could be a little breakdown.
 
Sounds similar to what happened on my Subaru Outback. It turned out to be a front wheel bearing slowly failing. The sound only occurred at parking lot speeds, a sharp right turn. the sound occurred with each tire rotation. Later, the outboard tire would start to slide to the outside an inch or so. No other symptoms. Replaced both hub assemblies. Corrected the problem.

I have for sure had bad wheel bearings in this, it it's rubber and almost comical how loud it is. I did hear a Tacoma in the same parking lot do similar today so maybe it's the geometry plus tires
