You can use expressions or set driven keys for an automatic turn as you move the car forward or backward.

Check at lostpencil.com I am pretty sure that they will still have a free video and a tutorial on how to do it. It should help you get going in the right direction (no pun intended).

wheel.rotateX = wheel.translateZ / (2*3.145) * $radius * 360;

Thats the formula, but you wont be able to peel out or brake. You could make a slider so you can switch it on a off. Also, it wont really work if you use rotate to turn.

you probably wanna change wheel.tz to whatever your animating.
