It really depends on how much do you want to spend.....
Pretty common size in Mickey Thompsons, BFGs, Coopers etc.

That's not a very common size, we just ordered some Maxxis Bighorns in that size for a 200 series today, they weren't even listed in their book but we rang up and they had them. I like the BFG all terrains for a good hard wearing tyre, had a customer just get 110 000km out of his on his 75 series, it won't hurt to ring a supplier to see if they make them in that size.
