No. Do you have power steering or manual?

it will be harder with larger wheels, assuming you will have wider tires. the 13s are the easiest to turn. maybe greasing the rack or other moving parts will help, they may be dried out

Hit the gym


Inspect your moving parts make sure nothing is holding it.

Is this the first non power steering car you have owned?

Is your tire pressure ok?

You could replace the steering gear too. I"ve yet to find somewhere where I can grease my steering gear. Theres no grease zerks or anything.

Put it up on jackstands in the front and make sure it's easy.
