Squealing tires at 23,000 miles - time to replace?

I have Eagle RS-As (OEM) and they seem to be squealing significantly more than I remember from before. I had the dealer check the tires but they enigmatically reported "they were fine".

Is squealing a sign of reduced capablities? I remember reading that once the tires have hit 50% of the tread, their capabilities are already significantly reduced.

It is possible that I am starting to drive the car harder.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

You are driving harder in the nice weather....
I replace mine after I run them into the wear markers.

I had the RS/As on my sedan until yesterday. Although two of the tires were relatively new (I had to replace one rear tire last year and I put the spare on the other side so they'd start out equal), the other two were down to the wear indicators at 22,500 miles. I'd check that first.

I put Goodyear Eagle F1 DS G3s on after reading many reviews. I'm happy so far, but it's only been one day.
