Default Tire Rub

I experienced the same sound when the wheels were at full lock.
Sounded like a bit of tire rub to me.
I was going to have the dealer check it but figuered that it was a minor design flaw.

since it only happens at full wheel lock it is not much of a problem anyway.

haha, its really all grass, its just dead. The weather this month has been crazy, for a night with will be 40 then the next morning would be 70 and the temp jumps all the time so the grass just died.

i have another question and didnt want to start another thread but on 07's didnt they let u disable the traction control? well i was at a stop light earlier today and i pressed the VDIM switch and as soon as i took off, the light turned off. So is it only on the 07 where u can keep the traction control off or did i do something wrong.
