Those are your drive wheels and in slippery conditions they will spin, the liberty has a setting "four wheel high" that you can shift into that will give you good wet condition traction. Warning the steering may feel funny since the front wheels are now drive wheels as well as the back, and be sure to put it back when it is no longer slick.

How do you tell if you have a limited slip differential?

Jack up the which ever end is in question to get the tires off the ground. Put the transmission in neutral and spin one of the tires by hand. If the opposite tire spins in the same direction, you have a limited slip differential. If the opposite tire spins in the opposite direction, you have an open rear end. just pull the automobile off to the side of the road with one rear tire in the grass or mud and the other tire still on the road. now mash the gas and spin the tires if it's a open rear end then the tire in the grass or mud will spin only. if it's a limited slip it won't spin at all.

Can you replace the front tires only on a 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L?

Yes you can, but the tire store will probably (and should) insist that they put the new tires on the rear of the car and move the rear tires to the front. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but believe me, if you get into a situation where you are turning and your tires slip, you want the front to break loose first. If that happens, the car will simply not turn and your reaction is to slow down. If the rear tires break loose first, you will spin out. Pro drivers know to turn the wheels in the opposite direction, hit the accelerator and get ready to compensate when the rear end whips around. The average driver will hit the breaks and spin out or overcompensate and whip around the other way. Bottom line, when getting only two new tires, put them on the rear regardless of whether it is a RWD or FWD.
