I think its fair to say that for around town driving speeds and around town corners, the rear wheels take a shorter path around a corner (such as at an intersection) than the front wheels. That is, when going around a corner, the rear wheels follow a track that has a shorter radius of curvature than the radius of curvature defined by the track of the front wheels. Thus, the tranny clutch pack must slip to accommodate the differences in distance travelled between the front and rear.
