Tire question
Well, the tires won't last long. I'd suggest a BFG mud terrain, I think the largest they make are 37s. Try BFGoodrichtires.com for a list. They will last much longer, and will give you better street driving, they are the best off road tire i know that will give you decent street driving and good all around terrain traction.

Tire question
I have the BFG muds, the new style, and I bought them because they are fairly quiet on the highway, and they have good road manners, and they arn't going to wear out in a year. They are the best tire for all around street, snow, mud, sand, and rocks. They do a decent job on all surfaces. I drive 98% on the street, I wanted the agressive look w/o sacrificing to much. They have 3 ply sidewalls, and are pretty tough. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for in life. Would I buy them again? in a heart beat.
