My wife's 2010 Fit (currently 1600 miles) came with Dunlop SP 31 tires. During tight cornering at low speed (like U turns in a parking lot), I can hear and feel a rumble coming from the front end. I'm currently blaming this on the tires. Any other owners experiencing this here in the forum?

Thanks

If you are full lock on the steering it would more than likely be that you are hearing the constant velocity joints binding:eek:.... Just lighten up a little on the wheel in full lock turns and don't accelerate hard at full lock also... The CV joints can bind and break with the throttle pedal down at full lock if you are to do it on a regular basis.
