Default front tires sound like they're rubbing

when i am stopped or moving very slowly to make a turn, my tires sound like they're rubbing...this only seems to happen when i turn the wheels pretty far either way. i haven't done any modifications to the car whatsoever yet. has anyone else experienced this?

if you are stock, you really shouldnt be seeing rubbing... to be sure, have someone stand next to the car and watch your tires while turning.. or be parked, turn the wheel all the way to one direction, get out, feel around for where the tires are, and if they are rubbing, then go back and turn them the other way and check for it again..
if they are rubbing then i dont know what to tell you.. try getting an alignment maybe?

Depends on what type surface your turning on. Maybe your hearing the rubber of the tires and the surface as your making your slow but hard turn.

If not......check your wheel wells, maybe something has come loose. The inside of the wells are only plastic and if one of the grometts or push pins comes out it will hang. Hard turns will reach the tires and cause rubbing.

Check it........
