whilst sliding with an open diff, only one tire is spinning (usually). power goes to the tire with the least amount of traction, which would be the spinning one.
when the tires are going different speeds, the driveshaft spins at an average of the two (divided by 4.1 obviously). if one wheel is going 10mph and the other is going 50mph, the speedo will read 30mph.
