The 4 tires are meant to be and supposed to be EXACTLY the same. Even though you are non-mechanical it is unreasonable to be trying to shake down this problem while using unmatched tires on the rear.
Replace the two on the rear with the exact same as are on the front. Or buy 4 cheapos all the same.
Then, after all those tweaks, if you still have a problem, you will be tackling Solenoid C like the guys say.

When Joe says exact same, he means it. You have to be careful with the amount of wear on the tires as well as the make. That is, if the front 2 are worn, and you put on 2 new ones on the rear, same problem as having different ones...match the front as close as you can...my money's on buy 4 new ones. You guys in the States have some great tire prices!
(My car was binding, changed out the fluid, it went away for 6 months - until the front diff blew.  )
