Turning at slow speed (parking or three point turn) with the steering wheel close to or at full lock ( either left or right), the front tire on the turning side "crabs" or shutters. I never had this with my 2006 X5 with 17" wheel. I am wondering if the wider 19" wheels on my 2012 X5 aggravate the situation of AWD and differences in rotation speed left to right in turning in a tight radius.
