I've experienced this as well. I have to go down a spiral ramp in the parking garage at work and i can hear the tire drag when i'm coming down, almost sounds like its rubbing. sort of worries me a bit, but we'll see if it continues.

Hummm.....interesting. And I thought I was running over good size sharp rocks when turning the wheel hard, backing out of a parking space. Cold weather is also when it started.

Mine has done it since day one. It seems like it's "pushing" the front tires. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

It's called Ackerman geometry. It's hard to maintain at full lock. The C6 and C6Z Corvettes do the same thing.
