Yep. Wonder how many times it can be said in the same thread?

This happens when the tyre tread is low or wheels need alignment.

Depends what mpg I was after. And how fast it goes down the strip.

No Italian tune is far more effective, especially on full lock (in gear) :wink:

For a C5, Nankangditchfinders would be best.

Boat hulls should be water tight, so no need.

Thanks for your help guys. I will get the alignment done first and take it from there. It happens on slow turns also, not just on full lock.

Mine scrubs on full lock, and i am guessing it is something to do with the car having drive to all four wheels, and there being a bit of fighting between the diffs etc.

Alignment all checked today and it's all within tolerance.
I would assume it's definitely the tyres. Will burn through the current set and put some new rubber on in a few months
