No, it can do 60% to one side, 40% and a lot of other different possibilities depending on what the system thinks the car needs.

And you need that because if you are turning right the wheels on the right side of the car have to travel a smaller distance than the ones on the left.

Like if you stand and start walking right in a small circle you do smaller steps with your right leg than with your left, car has the same issue.
