Eric,
The TALLEST tire that will fit would be a 7.50 16 either radial of bias ply.
I would recommend radials because they greatly reduce the 'lane drift
syndrome' if ya know whatImean.
You can browse the tire manufacturers web sites and get the specs on any
tires that you are contemplating (Firestone, Goodyear etc)
