Much depends on what you mean by "too fast", what kind of car you're
driving, etc.  There's no one simple answer.

I have a Honda Accord which on its original Bridgestone tires would
squeal and screech mercilessly when accelerating in (especially) right
turns.  The combination of the front wheel drive characteristics of that
car coupled with the particular tires caused them to lose traction easily,
even at *low* speeds in "torque-y" turning maneuvers.  I now have a new set of
Pirelli P-4s on the car and haven't heard a peep since.
