Need Beefier Tire

I have a 2006 F150 XLT Supercab 2wd stock. The tires on there now are 235/70R17 and they need to be replaced. I want to go with a more beefier tire. I don't want to have to put a lift or leveling kit on it. Can anyone give me a recommendation on a tire that would fit my setup and look good while doing it. I understand it's not an off road truck, but want it to look a little better than the tires on there now. Thanks for the suggestions.

265/70-17, I'm running Cooper discoverer ATR. Really good tire for the price. Works well in mud, sand, silt and rock as compared to stock. '08 leveled 2wd.

That's the size I was thinking. Thanks for the recommendation. Can anyone else recommend a tire?

If beef is what you are after, take a look at Nitto Trail Grappler.
