Well I have 27" fronts and 28.4" rears. I have a few ideas about your problem, some already mentioned above.
What is the UTQG rating on your tires?
I would not really sping my tires 1st or 2nd when I first got my car. After mods and tune on stock tires, I'd spin 1st pretty bad, and a little in second. Now with the beefier tires I don't spin unless I get on it, and even then it's 1st only, 2nd spins if I hammer it and the tires are cold, under 5mi. Mine are a better compound now, go I get less spin, but I used to drive around in Sport Mode, now I just tap it once to turn off TC for the most part, but not all the way (7 sec).
I do know that when I was at the track (stock tires), I had TC on completely, and my car spun madly, all the way down the track, and it never stopped the spinning. Not even when the car started to go sideways! Sooo, I think I broke mine, I hear that's one of the reasons to turn it off at the track, aside from fuel cutting and brakes engaging.
Have you run your car at the track? If so, did you ever run with it on?
Now I can make the TC do its thing if I drive crazy and manange to ge tthe car sideways, like drifting. A friend of mine drifts his 5.0 sometimes, and his TC doesnt turn on til he's about 45' sideways already.
I agree with what someone said earlier, it might have been tampered with because of the numbers your putting down. I know they do that to crazy fast GT500's.
Sorry if I'm no help. Tossing up what info I have since we have similar tire set-ups. I'll test mine out this morning and see what I can make it do.
