Default need help finding 36 or 37s to fit 16 inch wheel

I want to get bigger tires, but cant find any 36 or 37 inch tires that fit a 16 at an ok price. I dont want to pay $350.00 a tire. I know that its not gonna be cheap, but I want a good price. I was hoping that I could get some help finding a tire that will last on the road and have a good price.

BFGoodrich makes KM2s in sizes 345/75R16 which measures out to about 36.5x13.5x16 and 365/75R16 which measures out to 37.5x14x16. I am considering both of those sizes for the next stage of my build, leaning more toward the 365s. A

And Pitbull makes tires that are 37x12.5x16, a couple different kinds from what I remember. I've also been considering them... or getting 37s that go on a 15" wheel and getting some cheapo trail wheels.

Go with the BFG KM2s 345 75 16" = 35.25 x 13x 16...they are quite and good road manners, wear good too. Call National Tire and Wheel wait for their shipping specials and youll score them for about $310.00 tire + free shipping+ no tax! they look awesum on 16x10s
