The inertia from the tires spinning compared to the inertia of the car rotating around the z axis is very small. Too small to be noticeable.

I don't know if I am missing something, but IMO, if the car is travelling forward with the rear tires spinning, there aren't any gyroscopics effect at all at play. Once the car starts to yaw, then yes, the negligible effect you mentions comes into play. So gyroscopic effects are not involved in determining which side the car will slide.
