250 Front tyres seems to be scrubbing when pulling away on near full lock

Totally normal. Both my 2010 250 and 2014 200t Clio do it.

Yeah it's normal.

I thought it was the locking diff but maybe not if a Clio does it too.

The low grip this time of year can be overcome by whatever is resisting the wheel turning, so they lock and skip a little.

 

It's to do with the castor angles etc totally normal on these. I thought the same when I picked mine up!

 

Exactly, caster angle + sporty tyres + low temperatures.

My old Volvo did it after fitting Pilot Super Sports, my MINI (on AD08R's) only does it when it's really cold. Mégane does it all the time...

 

I've had this too ... I think ... does it sound like the tire scrubbing but only on the Micheling Pilot Super Sports (19 inch Steev wheels) and not with the winter tires and 18 inch wheels. I've always thought it had something to do with fitting spacers on the front but couldn't find any evidence of scrubbing the wheel arches.

I'm glad more people had / have it

 

Sounds like Ackerman effect but not sure of spelling!

 

It's explained here:

Basically it means the front wheel turn at a different angle, to give a better turning radius/ handling.

 

Hard sidewall tyres seem to exaggerate this effect quite a lot. Its all good !
