A typical 4WD without locking diffs will still spin wheels. You have to have differentials at each end to go around corners on pavement.
An AWD car has _3_ diffs, one in the middle that splits power F/R, and then one at each axle that splits it L/R.
Highend 4wd setups can lock the diffs so all wheels spin at the same speed all the time - essentially on slippery ground, but very counterproductive when you actually have traction.
