Tried it with my 13..got same thing...tried it with Trans Am...same thing.
It feels like a grrrr grrrr with slight shuttering felt when releasing brake?
In essence...my theory is that while straight line there is equal distance between pistons to pad to rotor...when extreme turn outside that of normal driving, the piston distance on one side of the pad is greater than the other causing one pad to have no grip and the other pad to have excessive grip causing a higher pressure of one pad on each wheel on both sides.
Or it could be from the massive grip these tires have transferring through...

Bansheee, interesting theory. I love this forum when ideas are kicked around.
Yea, the "grrrrrr" is probably an accurate description. Slight shuttering, but very faint. The sound I'm talking about only happens while
moving the steering wheel near that lock position, not holding it still. So, the car would be stationary, put your foot on the brake mildly, bring the steering wheel to the lock on the left or right, and then wiggle the steering wheel back and forth about a 1/4 turn -- then the sound is consistent. If you completely release the brake or hold the brake pedal down firmly, the sound will NOT replicate. That what you heard?
