Re: AWD question

It should be the other way around: One in the front should spin while both in the back should spin.

The front differential is open, so the one with the least resistance is going to spin. The rear differential is LSD, so after a little bit of one spinning, they both should start to spin.

Also, if you have nearly bald all-season tires I wouldn't expect your car to be going much of anywhere. AWD is good, but bad tires make AWD worthless. You might as well be driving a FWD car with bald tires.
