When researching this issue, in your owners manual, to tow the vehicle from the front with all four wheels on the ground the following steps must be followed:

1. Position the vehicle that will be towed and secure it to the towing vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN.
3. Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition key to ACC/ ACCESSORY.
5. Turn all accessories off.

Just incase your steering wheel is locked, because you mentioned that this only happens on turns, the above steps should resolve your issue.

If you have followed all of the above statements and you are still having trouble with your tires, I am here to help.
