Default wheel and tire is a terrible example, not to mention pointless to tie down

Let's use something familiar. Take a case of beer. Cardboard on carpet has very little friction. It's easy to get that to start sliding around under an elastic net. Cut hard to the left, and quickly to the right, and you're gonna hear that thing sliding around in the trunk with your net. The avant net can be set up to hold it in place.

Default ok, you win

I've had beer under it too. cold. open. no gush.

not going to argue that the Avant one isn't better, but the regular is fine.

Default On teh Ford? Detroit rear FTW.

I prefer the open diffs for street and mostly the street with snow and ice.

So open all round is nice - but fully locked when needed combined with traction control as well is just killer. I also have wired in a switch on the dash killing the ABS and traction control if I desire.
