The axles will not be driven on hard surface as the foley interaxle units only drive when selected , which would not be a good idea on a non slip surface .
I would still be very worried about the ability to steer on a slippery surface with the rear 3 axles driven , its bad enough with double drive rear end on truck , and tri drive rear end ( used on some road trains) it was a known problem that you needed to slow right down to turn , otherwise you did not .
There was a tried (succesfully from my experience) remedy of fitting a slightly higher geared front diff , to that of the rear diff (walking beam rear axles) to give steering as used in the Leyland Martian . JMHO
tyre wear will be pretty rapid on axle s 3 and 4 , as anyone with a tacr2 will testify
