I prefer Michelin. They have that size: Click here

BFGoodrich is part of Michelin, and they also have that size in the AllTerrain T/A KO.

Toyo also has that one. http://marktg.toyotires.com/file/18975.pdf

I'm not a Goodyear fan, but they make a couple in that size. Here's one: Click here.

Re: E rated tire sizes

I'm not too hung up on the D or E ratings. I look at the actual weight rating. My last two sets of D's are rated for more than any E's I've ever had.

Super Swamper SSR's in 35x10.5R16 are 3400# rated.

Mickey Thompson has 325/80R16s at 3500#.

Michelin 9.00R16 and 11.00R16 are rated over 3500#.
