There needs to be some "give" on the road surface the tread is on.

All my reference is towards the "Old school" straight axle, and four wheel drive components.
The new stuff on cars and trucks with all wheel drive, have much more smarts and technology to keep wheels spinning either under power or not to avoid these old 4wd issues from happening.
Again, doesnt an open diff allow the wheels to spin at different speeds?
