Towing - Stay in RWD or change to 4WD?

Out of curiousity, why is it bad to drive in 4WD on hard surfaces?
Because tires may not be exactly the same diameter, and there will be different amounts of rotation when on a curve, between the steering axle and the fixed axle. Because of this, the tires and driveline components will be stressed resulting in more wear. Just engage 4WD in a parking lot and turn sharply for a demonstration of how bad it can get.
