Front end turning radius
My 11 GrandSport has always felt like the tires were rubbing something, or scrubing the tread in a hard turn maneuvering on a parking lot. I try to avoid full lock turns when possible. No problems in normal driving.
Is this common on other grand Sports, my 07 coupe doesn't do this.
I had it back to the dealer when the fronts wore out at 13k and they realigned both front and rear.

Scrubbing is very common and it can vary depending on surface as well as the tire type (ie runflats, non-runflats, R compound tires, etc)
A dealer alignment can be pretty poor unless you gave them exact specs to hit. The specs in the Factory Service Manual are a mile wide which means results can vary significantly.
