those are all pretty heavy tires for a daily driver sure they look sweet but you might want to consider duratracs really aggressive AT and about 30 lbs lighter then most other tires. the weight adds up and will save ya in gas. really quiet too

Duratracs only come in sizes up to 34.6", too small for what he wants

For the style/size tires you're looking at, I'd definitely look at the Pitbull tires too, especially the Maddog's or Rockers. A buddy of mine (Rockness Monster here on the forum) just put a set of Maddog 39's on his rig. Here's a few pics from last weekend's wheeling trip:
