Not always true because weight distribution and axle ratio (axle
wrapup to drive shaft input) plays roll here to I have a few 4x4's
with open diffes and if you crowd them on a gravel road it will spin
them both and I even have a old J 20 jeep truck that will spin both
tires on dry pavement regulary in surface is about equal traction
wise.
