No very long on pavement. The sharp turns will break them on dry pavement if the tires bite.

Put in an electric, cable or air actuated locker or some other type of loacker.(Detroit locker) You don't want to run a locked differential on pavement unless your only going only in a straight line.(Drag racing)

I would be more concerned with road manners!
No wait, it wont have any road manners!
It wont steer worth a chit!
Not to mention it will chew the tires up fast on road.
Find yourself $500 and put a Detroit in it, still yet that will be a little untamed.
