Yes and no. Yes it might help you get moving if you are stuck. No, because it can cause the back end to get real squirrelly. As a reference, I have an R Package Miata (with a Torsen LSD). That car can be a real handful in the snow if I'm not very careful. I've done more than one spin out on the neighborhood streets when they were packed snow (icy). Just a tad too much power, and both rear tires start to slide...
Similar with my 4x4 pickup, but not nearly as bad. But in that case, the LSD does help to pull out others stuck in the snow banks...

I'll leave it to the experts to tell me.

Not unless the average Joe has a habit of smoking his inside tire around tight turns. Really hard to do that unless you are immune to tickets for some reason...

Er...seriously, If you know if the difference while driving on the street, you are creating a hazard for the public.
