Default Rubbing sound!!! Help

When I first get in my car and im backing out of the drive-way and turn my wheel sharp but not all the way, I hear/feel a rubbing like sound even when i put it in drive and drive off at a slow speed the sound continues, but it goes away when I continue to drive.... This is on my 07 3LT C6 LS2. Im wondering if it is a suspension kind of deal that is normal or maybe you guys can help me out with this!

I get some rubbing sounds when I turn sharp but it goes away once the wheels are straightened out. Did you change tires recently? Could it be the tread of the tires?
