I run XDS2 drives and XZE steers range H on a Dodge 3500 6 speed. Overall I like the tires very much. They do make some noise. There is a slight sing at most speeds. The truck is very stable regardless of what I haul or tow. In the winter the tractionis OK from the xds2 but by no means would I call them a true winter tire. But then again I,m comparing them to the studded snows I run on other vehicles. Of course with some weight on they do better. I don't really off road in the mud or anything but I do run it around the farm and construction sites and it does fine with 4k in the bed while pulling a 10k trailer.
The ride is a bit harsher than before when empty but I'm working on that and can live with what I,ve got if I had to. Mostly wheel and chassis hop. Suspension mods will help.
I would have gone with load range G but the weight capcity gain was not very much over stock tires and my plan for now is that my next camper will be a large double or triple slide so range H.
By the way - all six tires balanced with NO added weight. Well worth the $$ to buy good tires and get Road force, match balancing.
