What tires should I install? Need advise.

I own an F150 4x2 with a 4.2L V6 and I currently have a set of four AR Atlas 17x8 wheels with no tires yet. Here in our country, I only found two types of tires which I consider buying. Which one will be OK, considering load capacities, effect on vehicle's overall performance and reliability? Choices are: Goodyear Wrangler RT/S 265/70R17 or General Grabber 275/60R17. Please advise. Thanks.
