If the trans has been out lately and you have an external transbrake solenoid it is very easy to bump it on the way in or out causing the plunger to bind slightly causing inconsistent releases. Also, a bur or foreign material on the internal valve that the transbrake releases on launch can cause these problems. I bumped so many solenoids in the past that I now remove the thing and plug the hole before removing a trans with external solenoid.
Just a suggestion. Most likely, as stated, the trans is slipping and new tires may have made it more noticeable.
