According to the Michelin Web site, 265/70 15 Will fit/ but needs a 7.0 inch wide rim minimum, so your factory wheels may not be wide enough.
It also suggests a snow (winter only) tire in 255/75/16 that will fit on a 6.5 in wide rim. You may find other tires in that size as well.
Both tires are about 30 inches tall, and it looks like the 255 width is about as wide as you can go without a wider rim (wheel).
Also, the site only recommended "P" tires, so LT tires may differ slightly.
On a personal not, I like 245/75/16 in an LT on that vehicle, nice "tire width/height to vehicle" ratio.
Hope this helps
