I am running groundhawgs right now because I got a killer deal on them. They have good street characteristics and wear well, but they're no where near as good as a TSL in the mud. I don't have any experience with TSL's on the street, I'm sure somebody else with some experience will chime in.

Here are a couple links to some sites with info for you. The first one is for Interco Tire so you can see what's available. The second one is a website with calculators to help you determine what gear ratio to use.

A 40" Ground Hawg will measure around 38" actual height. The TSL's are true to their claimed size and will wear fairly good on the street if used on a properly aligned vehicle. Have you considered the Iroks? They wear well on the street and ride smooth.
What gearing do you need? That depends a little bit on what engine and transmission you have, but I would choose 4.56 gears.

with that much lift you can easily run 44's, but your going to regret running large tires on a dana 44...balljoints and wheelbearings will not be happy
i would suggest tsls or hawgs....irocs will wear as fast or faster than boggers
