Default Z problems??????

Brand spanking new 16 sport. I have 750 miles on it now.
2 things I'm concerned about

1: When I turn the steering wheel sharply I get a lot of feedback it doesn't sound or feel good. I'm assuming its caused by wide front tires which I'm not used to.

2. Within the first week of owning this car, I start it up and let out the clutch(not in gear)and I hear this whinning sound. Push the clutch pedal back in and it stops. Once I started driving it went away and hasn't done it since

Any thought?

It's all normal.

The front tire chatter is known as 'tire scrub'. You are correct it should be expected with a wider low profile tire on a tight turn. It is worse when the tires are cold.

The noise you hear from the drive train is the throw-out bearing on the transmission. Again, perfectly normal.
