Michelin tire owners

So I just got a new F250 after trading my beloved F150. The new truck has Michelin LT E tires on it and I'm wondering about how they are for towing. Years ago I got a new car at the Fire Dept and they were really bad to the end they had to be replaced. Granted that was on a car being driven at high speeds. The sidewalls were so spongy that they were very sloppy on hard turns. I know that's probably not a fair comparison but I would like to know that these LT's are good solid tires for towing. Thanks a bunch.

I had Michelin LT E tires on my F250 for years after I replaced the Bridgestone tires that the truck came with. I pulled a 32 foot fifth wheel many miles with those tires and they performed well. I would not worry about those tires.
