The Michelin 11.00-16 is 38.7 od and 540 rev/mile. You get 2640 rpm @ 60 mph w/4.89s, 3150 w/5.83s. At considerable work and $$$ I did put in a 5spd w/20% overdrive. Michelin also apparently makes 325/85R16, same od as 11.00s, but over 12" wide. It has a very aggressive XML tread (non-directional) and undoubtedly is VERY $$$. In the nonradial category, think about 38.5/11.00-16 Super Swamper Boggers (they'll fit on the stock rim), 38/12.50-16 regular Super Swampers(actually 37.8) or even 40 or 42" Super Swampers. You'd need a custom rim for the latter 2 but they can be made.
