After driving more, I have notived I hear it only when turning the wheel while moving slowly and probably stopped (I know "dry steering" is bad)

Some thoughts:

Could it be from stress on the steering mechanisms from turning the wheel as such slow speeds, that its the same as "dry steering"?

Could the extra width of the tires be too much added friction for the steering to handle on slow turns?

Or could this be a "normal" sound? You just don't hear it while moving?
