This is normal. Most vehicles employ a 'limited slip' or similar type differential which prevents both tires on an axle from getting power from the transmission. This is to prevent massive tire wear from turning corners. If both tires were getting power and locked in to the same speed turning a corner, then the tire on the outside of the curve would have to drag along the pavement (causing the major wear and possibly loss or impairment of control). Allowing one of the wheels to turn freely (usually the wheel on the outside of the curve) prevents the tire dragging.

that means that you have power to both tires in the back. this is really important if one tire get stuck in lets say mud and one tire isnt. both tires will spin out independently so you will get more traction and get yourself out instead of just one tire peeling out in the mud

What limits the speed of the bicycle?
A bicycle's speed is limited by several factors. Below is a list of some of these factors that limit bicycle speed. -Gear the bicycle is in. -Weight of bicycle and/or rider. -Size of gears. -Terrain -Tire size -Strength or power of the rider. -One key point to note is that the speed at which a rider can spin the wheel is related to the ratio between the front gear size and the rear gear size. If the front gear is larger than the rear gear, the rear gear(and thus the tire) can achieve a higher spin rate because one spin of the front gear will equate to multiple spins of the rear gear. Therefore the better the ratio is, the faster the bike can travel. Also, the tire size can be a limiting factor of a bicycle's speed. If the rear gear spins at 1RPM and the rear tire has a circumference of 1 meter, then 1 meter will be traveled every minute. So plainly the greater the circumference the better. This also brings in a third factor however, the weight of the tire. At a certain size, the tire becomes so heavy that friction of the wheel on the ground makes it more difficult to achieve motion. The lighter the tire is the less friction it will create.
How fast does a tire spin at 70mph?

How do you make the tires spin on a motorcycle?
To burnout with rear tire, if that is what you mean, hold front brake on fully, stand on ground straddling bike (less weight) and use first gear at full throttle. This is VERY dangerous, the bike could get away from you and only should be attempted by an experienced biker. Not to mention the cost of wear on tire.
Do you have to remove the spare tire to replace the oil in a 2008 dodge grand caravan?

Why does a flat tire spin faster?
A flat tire spins faster for a couple of reasons. This could happen because there is no force holding it back. A soft or flat tire has a smaller circumference which forces the tire to spin faster to keep up the same speed.
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.
How do you balance my tires?
Take it to a tire shop, and they will spin balance them.
