I had XPS Traction tires on my 1995 F350 and loved them.
They are an excellent choice for hauling a heavy TC because of their all steel construction. The steel belts extend up into the side walls, and make them much stiffer than regular radial tires. This helps minimize side to side sway, and improves handling while hauling the TC. I had about 50K miles on the tires when I sold the truck, and there was a lot of tread left. They weren't noisy at all. I also was able to balance them using only Dynabeads ( ceramic balancing beads inside the tires).
I wish Michelin made the XPS Traction tires in more than just two or three sizes.
