Default 08 ecsb traction problems.???

Ok well I have a 08 sierra with the 5.3 it has headers intake edge programmer and 4:11 Yukon gears. I have 275 55 20 goodyear eagle gts in good shape and it spins like crazy from a dig. I'm planning on cam and stall but I want to solve this first....

Do a search on here, there are a couple of threads about them, great tire (going to get another set after these), and easier on the wallet than many high performance tires.
