While surely not the biggest, a nice and easy fitting tire size is a 275/70-18. It offers a few more choices in the LT type tire. I think it's about an inch taller and minimally wider. Note that in a certain tire size you will find variation from one manufacturer to another.

Then Generals have a nice tread pattern.
I have the BFG AT T/A KO and they're pretty durable. Today I picked up a screw in 'em and didn't even make it through past the lug.
I also tore off a piece of sidewall and I'm hoping that they hold up, or I'm out about $300.
They made it through about a foot of mud but that will be the last time for a while!
