The turning diameter is around 40 feet. Doing a slow speed turn at full lock will often times result in the tire skipping (assuming this is what you mean by sledge). This is due to a combination of tire width and alignment. At full lock and slow speed, the tires are actually up on an edge. Drive a little more aggressive and the tire rolls to allow full tread contact. This is normal for the car.
