You also get Anti-Ackerman steering that way.
The outer wheel steer more than the inner wheel.
If you are driving in a circle the inner wheel should
steer more as it's making a smaller radius. With
less than a 1/4 turn on the steering wheel it might
not be noticed. Some British cars from the 1950's in
to the 60's had more or less of Anti-Ackerman. Lotus
had it more than any other.
