Brake and belt issue?

On my 03 Civic LX i hit the 300,000 mark so I decided to just replace my rear shoes they were squeaking so I decided to do some general maintenance and I replaced them made sure they were on right, did great. But I took the tires off because I had broken a hubcap and it was flapping and driving me crazy so I took them all off and put the tires back on. After that when I stop the rear tires make a scrubbing noise when I stop like normal but if I hard brake you can’t hear it. Anybody have any ideas?

While I was doing some general maintenance I went ahead and replaced my belts they were squealing and the power steering belt was squeaking so I replaced them. The A/C belt only squealed when I turned the A/C on and was stopped. I replaced the belts and the squeal and squeak disappeared. The A/C system and has a lifetime warranty, there was no unusual play in the pulleys, everything was great and it never squealed until a few days later it squealed again, so do I need to readjust my belt? Is it too loose or tight?

sometimes you need to adjust belts after a couple days, were they oem or aftermarket?

I wanna say oem because I got them from a big parts store where I live. The brake issue was looked at and it’s just the drum scrubbing because they weren’t turned. Just gotta figure out better shoes for the drums because I accidentally bought the organic crap ones that you have to blow the brake dust out of the drum.

no, that would be aftermarket.
much more likely to need adjustment, after you adjust them again they'll probably be good
