you could go with the M/T 315/60 which is advertised as 29.8 inches tall and 11 inches wide. If you want something wider M&H makes a 390/45 radial thats advertised at 29.5 inches tall and 12.5 inches wide.

I've had mickeys and been happy. But I've heard good about the hoosiers quick time pros. I think they make something big enough.
