Pretty much any car that is balanced at high speed will push in slow speed corners, I know my '06 does. Letting off the gas will reduce plowing(understeer), not increase it. Just as turning in "on the gas" will increase corner entry understeer. The throttle reaction is more complex, and can cause understeer or oversteer, depending on the car, where you are in the corner (entry,mid, or exit), and how much throttle is applied.

Tire pressures will have some affect, my car has reduced push with lower pressures in the front, and higher in the rear. Just don't go much below the recommended pressure.
