Improper pressure?

Tire worn?

Caliper frozen?

If a tire squeals, it's slipping (as in it lost its grip on the road). This can happen if either the tire cannot handle the forces it should be able to handle (for example, because of incorrect pressure, incorrect tire size, or wear), or there is simply too much force put on the tire (for example, when taking a turn at too much speed, when there is too much weight on the tire, or when braking or accelerating too hard).

What would cause 1999 Chevy Tahoe to oversteer and lock up tire the way you turn causing tire to bounce and squeal through turn?

Chevys around that year model have a lot of trouble with the front bearings. jack it up and spin the tires by hand. If one or the other doesn't spin freely, you have a bad bearing. Also, if it's a 4x4, engaging the front differential and making a turn will cause the outside tire to slip and bounce. That's normal on a 4x4.
