Is this a tagging issue, a rendering issue, or something else? The desirable outcome would be to be able to take a look at the map on the GPS and know which roads are paved and which are not.
It's a rendering issue. When creating Garmin maps you can map an OSM tag to anything that you like. The maps on http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl will have a set of tags mapped to certain features that make sense for a "general" group of people, but there are other downloadable OSM Garmin maps available (and it's easy to make you're own). The software most often used to make Garmin maps from OSM data is called "mkgmap", and that follows instructions in so-called "style" files to produce the resulting map. It'd probably be a one-line change in the style file that handles lines (i.e. roads, tracks and so on) to produce the result that you want.
The help site (http://help.openstreetmap.org/) has quite a lot of Garmin and mkgmap information and links; try searching that for "mkgmap" for links to how to make your own map.
Of course, someone may already be producing downloadable Garmin maps with exactly the rendering that you want - if you don't get a reply here and don't want to make your own maps maybe try asking on the help site or on the forum.
