Default Tire Feedback Needed!

Good Afternoon fellas,

I have been doing quite a bit of research lately on fitting my truck up with some new tires. I’m looking for something to help fill out the truck without completely killing my performance and mileage. I put roughly 8-10k miles a year with mostly city driving. Below is what I am considering. Anyone have any feedback on mileage drop, ride quality, performance drop, or opinions? I am willing to sacrifice some in these areas, but trying to avoid anything drastic. I have not really seen much first hand to get a good idea so feel free to post up any pictures.

BFG A/T - 275/65R20
BFG A/T – 285/65R20
DuraTrac – 285/60R20

I would like to stay away from a 305/55R20.

Below is a picture of my truck for reference. I have a 1.5” AS level up front already installed. 3.55 gears, 5.4 Any advice would be appreciated.

I just got the 275/65/20 BFG all terrain. I like them other than being a little too narrow for my preference.

Nice looking truck!! Any shots from the front or back to see the width in perspective with the truck? Any noticeable impacts from stock performance?

Great A/T tire I ran on my last truck were Yokohama Geolander AT/S. Tire handled above average in light off road conditions. Handled excellent in Dry pavement/wet/ icy/ light snow conditions. P rated tires were fairly light / similar to stock which lends itself to good gas mileage. It's not as agressive as say BFG A/T KO's. The compound is also softer which gives better highway traction. The downside is the tire won't last 50-60K miles like BFG's. Lastly, depending on size it's a reasonably priced tire.
Good luck on whatever your decision is.
