Good Years or Phoniex?

Hi Guys
I am running Hoosiers, always have on all my cars, but they don't make a tire to fit my mini tub Valiant. I am running 29.5 X 11.5 W which are 13.5 wide. I love them, but I have gone from S/S springs to Caltracs w/ mono's & and narrowed 9".I got them as centered as I can (like 3/8th" inside to frame, and about 1 1/2" outside). The wheel wells are jacked out but they still rub.I don't want to jack the car up again like it was either.(see before and after photo's)
What are better, Good Years, or Phoniex? They both make a 12.5 wide tire.And do you run Tubes or not with your choice.
I want to run S/ST so with the 5 teeth's Pro Tree, I need all the tire I can get.
Thanks Guys
Chris
