Just in case you didn't see it you can see if any of those tires are in the Tire Review Thread.

All I off road in is rocks my self. Properly aired down tires are you best protection against side wall puncture. Any MT is going to be kinda loud and hurt your MPG. I run AT's now for that very reason. I ran a MT and loved it off road on the rocks and the sand but hated it on the road. The noise and ride just wore on me I guess. I switched to a nice AT and loved the on road noise level and performance. It also performed about the same as my MT's on the rocks as well. Just something to think about.
