Problems turning

This decreases over all turning friction.

If you were to place them on opposite corners, it would do nothing to the amount that the sticky wheels have to be pulled sideways to follow the circle of your turning radius, and since One wheel has the same amount of friction as two, I wouldn't expect this to solve your problem at all.

From experience with vex bots, it definitely improves turning. Also look at 494/70 last year.
Omni placement all depends on how you want your robot to drive and how you want your robot to react to defense.
