A car is designed to roll forwards on steel banded rubber tires on axle wheel bearings, with suspension designed to absorb bumps and cornering stresses before they reach the body. If you are breaking the tires loose and sliding sideways (still with forward propelling traction) you are putting enormous stresses on components not designed for that which is why racing cars have enormously beefed up suspensions, a roll cage that greatly stiffens the body and polyurethane bushings that give a harsh but very direct 'feel' to the ride.
