Default Tire squeal

When I drive the car hard (1.8T, 6-sp) I get a lot of tire squeal. I usually hold it at about 3000rpm then let go of the clutch, sometimes the wheel spins and squeals (no ESP going off), and when I make a turn at like 50km/hr the tires squeal like crazy and sometimes ESP goes off. Is there something wrong with my car like an alignment/tire problem or anything, or am I just driving it too hard?

You're driving it hard.
