Squeaking tires aren't the issue, since no-one would be able to hear them over the brakes, anyway. But you're close. The problem is that, if you have an MZ, you must discard the yaw control. If you have an RS, you can keep it (and program around it on gravel).

Why would you lose yaw control?

In a nutshell (translation: from what I understand, which isn't complete), if the AYC is asked to "fight" against a diff that locks as hard as an MZ, the clutches will be chewed up very quickly. The most that they can be asked to work with (or against, depending on your point of view) is an RS.
