In ascending order of price, size, and quality/traction:
1) 36X12.5R16 radial Swampers (36.2"X12.7")
2) Michelin 9.00R16 XZLs (36.9"X10.3")
3) Michelin 11.00R16 XZLs (38.7"X11.3")
4) Michelin 325/85R16 XMLs (38.7"X12.8")
1-3 are specified to fit on your rim. the 325s are supposed to have 8" wide but they will be OK on 7s.
I have the 9.00s on my M37. If you have a flathead and 4.89s the 9.00s are probably enough tire for you. The 11.00s will give only 2640 rpm @ 60 mph with 4.89s.
