Stock tires are quite soft and may not squeal on corners so it sounds like it might be the cause of the "scrubbing" sounds. R compounds tend to be like that too - no squealing unless you are well beyond the limit.
Stock sized tires/wheels should not rub anywhere.
Probably more info is needed though - e.g. what temp was it outside (colder = easier sliding), etc.
If you are driving that fast, you should probably take the car to an autox to find the limits rather than the street - much safer for you (and others). The S2k's can be somewhat treacherous at the limits (especially if stock) and you have to be quick to catch it ...

It has happened in warm and cold temps. Not really driving fast, just sharp turns, on flat country roads. I like the car too much to put it at any risk of damage.
I think it may be VSA + tires sliding as suggested. The car kind of uhh, vibrated, when this occurred, and the VSA light did flash, so I guess it's just a combination of tires sliding and VSA modulating, and not the car scrubbing itself.
