Wheel Alignment Question

I recently had my 99 vert wheels aligned. The front tires wore pretty bad on the outer edge.

Since the alignment I've noticed that when pulling into or backing out of a parking spot (turning) my front tire seem to bind up like having a four wheel drive's hubs locked in on dry pavement.

To the best of my knowledge the front has not been lowered and I am running stock sized tires.

Is this normal with a vehicle with wide tires in the front or should I take it back to the alignment place?

On my 2000 with 275/18 fronts, I get the exact same feeling in my steering wheel if I turn it all the way to lock or close to it. My son-in-laws CTS-V Caddy does it too.

Thanks

I should have added that I did not experience this before the alignment and the car track straight.
