Why is it harder to park next to car on the outside of my turning arc than one on the inside of my turning arc?

Assuming you’re pulling into a parking spot instead of backing into it, you’re essentially ‘pulling’ your rear wheels into position. It takes more ‘pulling’ to get them close to the car on the outside of your turning arc than to get them close to the car on the inside of your turning arc. Since you’re pulling and not pushing, the rear tires never go as far as your front tires.
This is why some people prefer backing into a parking spot, because then you’re ‘pushing’ your rear wheels into position, in which case, they go further than your front wheels.
