Tire size issue??

I just bought (less than a week ago) a 92 RS that has the factory 16s with 245/50s all around. My questions is...should the turning radius suck? My wifes Hyundai Santa Fe has a tighter turning radius than I can make in the Camaro. Is it likely that there is a problem with the steering components. The car appears to have been sitting somewhere for some time but the tires appear to be new and do not appear to have been scraping the body. It just WILL NOT make a tight turn. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Re: Tire size issue??

I'm always joking about the fact my car turns like a truck.You get used to it after a while and adjust your driving habits accordingly.
If you search you can find threads concerning this subject. Here's one I found,there are many more I'm sure. = https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/susp...ng-radius.html
Here's one concerning driving the car in general that also addresses the subject = https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...red-other.html
