In everyone's experince, what is the largest "street-able" off-road tire size?

Definition of "street-able" means:

-Your can drive safetly 65-70 mph
-You can haul/tow loads for farm/construction use
-Nimble enought for inter city traffic
-Can still be used off-road

I used to drive 36" Buckshot radial mudders. These tires were about 35" tall and performed very well. Thinking that I could go bigger, I now have some 38.5" Ground Hawgs. These tires are just at the breaking point of being too big. They are difficult on the highway and seem hard to maneuver intown traffic.

I think that you really need 35-36" tires or smaller if you really want a "steet-able" off-road tire.

Please feel free to discuss.

A buddy of mine has a bronco on 37" SSRs, which I think is pretty driveable, but by going with your definition, I would agree that 35-36s are the max. My reasoning is this, if you want to haul stuff, the higher you go, the less stable and easy to load it becomes. Probably the best compromise would be 36s with a 2" lift and cut fenders. This way you get the clearance but without the height.
