Rumbling noise

I have a 2004 CVT mini, now im sure there are mini owners like me who occasionally on sharp turns like to press the gas a bit more.....

I did it a few times but wen it was a sharp turn and i was accelerating with my wheel turned all the way and accelerating there was a scary rumbling noise by my tire... Whats that all about???

Do you actually mean you are giving it a lot of gas with the wheels turned all the way they can go??? All the way as in a parking maneuver? All the way as in your steering wheel won't turn any more?

YD

Does it do it either direction? Are your tires cupped or scuffed?
