Default Vibration in my right front wheel?

Before I go down to Lexus all paranoid, I am wondering what could be causing my front right wheel to vibrate for a second or two when I make a tight left turn into a parking spot? I blew it off the first time it happened thinking it was the road but it happened again today and it is also with my steering wheel turning left when it vibrated.

Anyone experienced this or know any more info on it?

The tire is slipping slightly and is normal IMHO. It's the same thing as the tires screeching in the parking garages turning at slow speeds.

It happened with my car! Sometimes it feels like the tires are running something over when making a slow tight turn. Go into an empty parking lot and turn your wheel all the way, go in a few circles and see if you feel anything. Mine didnt feel smooth at all when I did my circles.

Do you feel any vibration on the steering wheel when driving at all? I have a problem with my IS250 AWD pulling to the left and I feel a slight vibration on the steering wheel when driving. Brought it to the dealership and now they've ordered 4 new Bridgestone Tires for me. Also did an alignment.
