Crunching Sound on U-Turns
For some reason, made a number of U-turns today, but wasn’t pleased to hear some type of crunching sound coming from the front when giving the car gas with the steering wheel at full lock. Anyone else experience this? What might be causing it? Normal or not? Thanks.

First presented itself yesterday, I made like three u-turns, two of which were to the left. The roads were wet...

Do all Lexus AWD models present with same?

I've noticed this too, and it was posted in another thread somewhere. I think it's probably due to the very tight turning circle of the IS. When the wheels are both turned at such sharp angles, the significant difference in circumference of the inner vs outer wheel likely causes this noise at the tires.

I have the same sound but it's more of a constant faint grinding sound. I have the Turanza all-seasons and AWD.
I wonder if tires have anything to do with it.
Also, any feedback from folks running aftermarket wheels/tires?

I have a RWD with summer tires and I've had this happen to me too. I just try to not turn the wheel as much. The sound was pretty heart wrenching the first time I heard it, seriously thought I scratched my car.
