With a limited slip the tire with the least amount of grip spins and the one
with the best grip doesn't get any power, correct?

As a physical measurement.

It is OK that the tires have a different diameter if they are the same size
to begin with. For example, I have worn tires on the ground and a brand new
tire on the rack. This is OK because they are all the same size. What I was
referring to earlier was that you don't want a 30" tire on the rack and 32"
tires on the ground, or that sort of thing.

That is your stock open diff.

A limited slip has clutch packs inside so it is easier to get both tires
spinning.
