Default Best All-Terrain Tire?

I have pretty a much stock 06 XLT Supercab. 17" rims. I want new tires. All-terrain. Any reccomendation on size and brand. I was thinking 275/70R17 or something in that area. Nitto Terra Grapplers, General Grabbers, Dayton Timberline AT2, or the infamous BFG's are a few I have been looking at. All input appreciated.
Thanks!

Ah, the never ending battle to find the right tires. Here's my 2 cents.

My old man runs the BFG All Terrains on his F350 and they look and ride great. On my '04 F150 Screw I run the Kelly Safari Trex (265 70/R17). They ride really nice, they're quiet, and they look good. They aren't the most aggressive looking AT but they work. I was in a hurry and wanted affordable so I'm happy for the dollars ($600 for all 4 mounted at Tire Factory).

I really like the BFG Allterrain KOs. I ran them on 2 different trucks. They wear great and they last a long time.

I like the BFGs. They ride great, look great ,and have great wear. Their a little pricey but worth it.

Those are what I had on my truck previously and loved the tire. I had a tad over 12k miles on them (they were stolen last month) and they still looked practically brand new. For my new tire I went with the Procomp MT's.
