Default Question about sterring
Hi, I have a 2018 Base. I noticed that when I turn the steering wheel right to full lock it feels like one of the wheels is dragging. Is this normal? If not, what type of issue am I looking at? Thanks for any help provided.

My 2014 does that when I pull out of the garage. Like the wheels are skidding a bit. Like he said, the nature of the beast. I read that some tires do it worse than others.

This is what it is called. Normal issue but can be reduced with different type of tires.

My experience parallels what I have read here. The stickier the tires the more obvious the ackerman effect it.
