Could you explain what you are saying? The steering wheel is not locked and the wheels turn with the dolly. Exactly how are the tires being dragged? I am not sure that you know how the ACME works.
I am not surprised that anyone would not know how the Acme works. I have watched the video several times, and I still don't know how it works.

But, I will probably buy a used dolly that has steering and brakes.
