Which way to go?

Looking at getting new tires pretty soon on my 2010 F150 Supercrew 4X4. First truck stats. Leveled 2", Stock "chrome package" wheels, running 5Star's 93 octane tune with 3.55's. I have narrowed it down between 2. Goodyear Duratrac's ( 275/70/18) & BFG A/T (305/65/18). I am running Goodyear AT/S 275/65/18 now. I have run the same size BFG's before on an '05 FX4 with 3.73's & it seemed to do rather well. With the BFG being 30MM wider and my stock 3.55's it may be another story I am thinking.

The BFG's will look better on your truck but the Duratracs being a smaller diameter and narrower tire may give you better performance and mileage. Also the BFG's will probably last longer too, the TA/KO's hard hard to wear out.
