18in tire help

I just picked up a set of 18in wheels (factory harley) for my 01 and cant get the tire situation figured out. Right now the wheels have factory tires on them (maybe a size smaller than factory) and the 16's I just took off had 315/75/16's on them which are 34.6in tall. I want to go with something alot larger on the 18's then whats on there now, but I cant find anything around the 34 or 35 mark. 275/70/18 seems to be the closest I can get, but that would be about 1.5in shorter and almost 2 inches more narrow. I want all terrain tires (no mud tires) because I drive ALOT of miles on the highway. Im also not looking to spend 300 per tire, so I need a fairly common size. Any advice?

If you have 18's on your truck please post pics and tell what size the tires are, also what lift you have if any.

Ive looked into that size and they all seem to be over 300 a tire. I have a friend that works at a tire shop and is going to get me a great deal on what I get, but the size has to be available in a firstone/bridgestone tire.
