Your car doesnt have a limited slip differential so when one tire starts to slip the other one doesnt. Its normal dont worry about it.

Back? your car is front wheel drive. It is the front ones that spin.When you drive normal a equal amount of power goes to both wheels but when you spin, it switches back and forworth to the front tires.
