A locked diff would ensure that tyre life was reduced even further, & when you need to get the best from your motoring dollar, this is not the way to do it.
getting the best from your motoring dollar is one of the main arguments for locked diffs. sure they reduce tyre life, but when your getting second hand tyres for less than the price of a lunch at maccas its no big deal. also im sure detroit lockers are expensive and if your looking to get the best for your motoring dollar, surely going out and blowing all your cash on something that behaves very similar to a locker isnt a good idea.?

kid yourselves as much as you want - locked diffs are a pain in the ass for everyday cars.

sorry L18_B110 im not trying to be a prick but just wondering how they are seen as a pain in the arse? we have already made the point that most people here, and rightly so beleive that they are alot less dangerous than open diffs. handling is in no way compromised it is gained dramatically in a street car, try going quick up a steep tight hairpin on a mountain road with an open diff, there is no way you could keep traction down. steering is heavier, but only noticable at low speeds doing a U turn or something but i dont have to do enough U turns to really worry about it. and i never snapped a single axle in the year and a half i had my locker. on the same note tho i totally agree that detroit lockers dont seem like they could really be safer, although i have never driven a car with one so who am i to judge?
