This happens a lot when leaving parking lots and making right turns. If I have to turn while accelerating, the rear tires squeak even when I'm not pushing that hard. It sounds like I'm burning out and doing "displays of power" but I'm not. I find it embarrassing, I'm not a teenager and I like to be a courteous driver, especially around the office. I'm not trying to burn out, but it sounds like I am.

Could this be a problem with the LSD? The tires are new, but it happened with the old tires too.

It's the LSD.

Depending on the type, if it's a torsen or vicious one then when cold it'll be pretty much locked, and any sharp turn will spin the inside wheel - that's the point of a differential, and more so the exact point of a "limited slip" differential.

You could try changing the diff oil but there's every chance it'll make no difference. Best to check if it also happens when all fluids have warmed up, or worse when cold, then 100% it's the LSD

The wheels are misaligned. Have a tire shop or front end repair shop perform an alignment.
