Here's a thought on the rear tire diameter issue. If the tire diameter is too large, how about just lowering the pressure? Seems like that would reduce the effective diameter? And since the problem seems not to extist during acceleration, perhaps that is due to the car squating which should again reduce the rear tire diameter?
Nope, won't work. The revolutions per mile of a tire (which is what we're concerned about here) are dictated by the steel belts. Even at extremely low pressures (example 10 psi vs. 40 psi) the revs per mile won't vary enough to matter (probably less than 0.5% depending on tread depth and hysteresis). That would have worked with bias-ply tires because the revs per mile varied greatly with the pressure (30% to 40% was not uncommon). And there are a lot of other reasons to not lower the pressure.
