My car also had a quaife diff and wider rubber so it could have put down much more so maybe you could have mapped to the torque that the car could put down
Not always just a traction issue why torque is capped in the lower gears, what if the torque is capped to mask gear/shaft geometry compromises, your bigger tyres and diff would just exacerbate things.
