Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im researching MT's at the moment and Im looking at either bridgestone, BFG's, Goodyear and Coopers.

Any comments as to road noise, wear rates, sidewall and tread strength (very important up here) and traction off road for any of these brands. Almost forgot, the all important price
currently I've got bridgestone AT's on and I've been happy with them-apart from the traction on wet gravel roads. But they have lasted well and the price is good, so I was leaning towards the bridgy MT's

Maxxis Buckshot Mudders
weak side wall (but they all have) - wont last as long as a BFG onroad - but work better offroad
