: What size tires do you run up front? Mine does the same thing. The combination of the front end diving and the tires turning to the side make my front tires rub on the bottom of the fender.

: : When I turn and brake at the same time my mav sometimes makes this god awful noise that sounds like a retard farting in my tire. Does anyone know what causes this? It doesn't make the noise when i only brake or only turn just when the 2 are combined and it doesn't always do it then. It puts my car to shame when I am driving (racing) around town and it suddenly sounds like a Giant farted when I round a corner.

Agree. Definitely sounds like one or more tires are rubbing against something when you're turning. You may want to check the wheel wells to see if you can find any place that may be causing interference. Maybe you have too wide a tire? I use 185/75 R14 sized tires, and have gone as high as 205/75 R14 on the rear (snowtires) only. Never tried larger than 185's on the front. Maybe someone who has used larger sizes on stock rims would care to comment?
