Default Mars rover tracks?

Looking at the Mars Rover tracks, I notice that at
regular intervals a few feet apart, the treadmarks
left in the dust are disturbed for a few inches before
continuing again.

Are the treads different at one point in their
circumference? Is the rover skidding to a halt
every few feet?

Incquiring minds want to know....
