Question Tires squeeeeel- '83 240d

the tires squeel when make a turn at around 30mph or higher. my other car is an 850 volvo. granted the tires on the 850 are probably higher performance but is this normal for the stock 175/14 tires on the benz? one other note, the benz is newly acquired and from what i understand, it has been sitting around for a while. could it be that the tires are just hardened with age?
Is this squeeling normal?
