The outside of the tire is turning faster than the inside of the tire during a tight corner at low speed so the outside of the tire ends up sliding (usually grip/slide, grip/slide, which leads to a "scrubbing" sound) instead of rolling.

Sliding of the tire would happen if the tire DID NOT turn at different speeds - this is the problem that a differential (or independent front tires in RWD car) solves.
