Is this a horrible way to choose a tire or what?

Ok so 4wheel parts is going to install the Daystar spacer lift (1.5/2.5 or whatever it is) on my t4r after christmas. I need 265/70/17 tires to fill in the gaps. I don't do any off roading unless it's surfing weather then I am driving on the beach every week (if that counts as off-roading). I know that the REVO or even a less aggressive tire is what I should be looking at but I love the look of the BFG AT KO! I had them on my '00 Chevy Blazer 4x4... 31x9.5 and they rode like a rock... but then again the blazer's stock ride sucked as well. At that time I had a honda s2000 so when I wanted a great handling car I just hopped in that. Now it's just the 4runner in my driveway and I love the way it rides, handles, and sounds. I just want to give it that "move out of my way or I will run over you" type look. I don't want it to ride like my Blazer did but the way the BFG looks beats every other AT tire hands down. So my question is: Am I an idiot for choosing a tire based on looks? haha, ok dont answer that but serisouly.. is it a bad idea?

another bad picture... once again I apologize for the quality, I will get some good pics soon.

I will also get those post-tire change measurements soon too.
