I did a brief search...couldn't find much.

Is there a 'normal' scrubbing sound from what appears to be the front tires when performing a sharp, low speed turn? Seems to happen on both left and right turns.

Sorry, I should elaborate better. Nothing is physically rubbing. It seems like the tires are grinding against the road. Not squealing like a tire with low air pressure would make. This almost sounds like sounds from the differential or from the tires.

I've seen this before with more aggressive tread designs like for off road etc. but not normally for road type tread designs. Does the vehicle drive straight on the highway?
For the most part. Slight drift to right...takes a while to start tracking right. Nothing out of the normal that I've seen.

Sounds more like something that happens in a car with a locked differential. The wheels have to go different distances because you are turrning. And the wheel that has to go the shorter distance (inside wheel) is squirming on the rubber because it can't roll on the rubber, while the outside wheel is freely rolling. If that makes sense.

I'm not sure there is anything wrong.....
That's exactly what I am assuming is happening. Wanted to see if others hear/feel the same thing.
