In Nebraska winters it is common for the right rear tire to spin with rear
drive open rear end and icy conditions, or at the drags with stock tires.
The rotation of the drive shaft pushes down the left rear and removes weight
from the right rear. You may have reached the limit of traction.

I just started returning my car to street trim after the April 28-29 meet
at Maxton this weekend and when I took the rear tires off I noticed that the
right rear tire was heavily feathered , this is the drive wheel for my open
rear end, to the tune of about 25% of the tread was gone. These were brand
new tires. The other rear tire and the front tires show no feathering at
all. Any ideas out there, was the rear wheel spinning or something else. I
used a single drive open rear end to aid stability in case of rear wheel
spin. I've never seen this before.
