Default need some help/advice with Hooser 28x10x16 tires

I recently bought a set of Hooser slicks to help me from spinning the **** out of the M/T ET streets (tube type) that were on there.

When i put the Hooser's on there i also put the tubes back in.

I am still spinning the new Hooser's off the line.

Does the tubes help or make it break loose easier. (i really want to avoid screwing the tires because they are the factory wheels)

Car is spinning, or the tires are spinning on the rim? If the latter, what psi are you running them at? I've never had tires move more than an inch on a rim, I never run the tires below 13-14 psi cold.

I started with 12psi cold then it spun so i moved to 11psi.

They are not spinning on the rim though because i have marked the rim and tire to make sure.

Are the tubes helping or hurting me with traction?

I don't know that tubes do anything for traction.

You should post a whole slip, and all your suspension changes. The guys can look it over.
