Rubbing noise from wheels

Hi, noticed a problem that seems to have become more noticeable in the recent week.
When I turn at low speed (half lock or more, either direction), I can hear a rubbing noise that sounds like it's coming from both wheels.
Anyone else experienced this ?
Just decoding whether it is a dealership visit or not as my car is only 5 weeks old ish.

I've noticed the same thing Matt. More so when I'm parking up and I'm full locking the steering wheel, mine is more of a creaking noise. I've actually only noticed it since having the tyres changed but it could have been there all along. Mostly got music on so I don't hear it. Will definitely keep an eye on it though.

Sounds like something that was discussed recently over on golfgtiforum.co.uk forum - a forum member was experiencing a similar noise during low speed manoeuvres. Link to thread;

I have the same noise. Some days it silent and other days creaky noise at parking speeds or going up drive ways.
Seems to be a common issue on the GTI.
Some people says it the bearing and mass part on the suspension.

I've also had this from day one, the arch linings are quite flexible though so I'm not worried

I will investigate this too, you could be on to something.

Has it been rubbing the tyre or the wheel? If the wheel, I'd be concerned about the integrity of the lacquer coat being worn and allowing white worm cosmetic corrosion to develop.

Not sure if its the same thing but I heard it as well today while parking up at the dealer. For me it sounded as if the tyres "rub" on the inner lining of the wheel arch when the front wheels are locked either side. Checked the tyres for any noticeable marks but all was clear.

It was the tire, not the alloy wheel sorry.

The same problem on my 1.0TSI here. I hope it is nothing serious.
