Thks for the reply. I currently running 42 in front and 40 on the rears. I have tried a lot of different combo for air pressure.

In Mexico (the roads are shit) i ran 36 all around and it made big difference.
I forgot to answer about the e's, no i haven't run them. I had cooper d's before the ko2 and the ride is similar

Try lowering your tire pressure. Makes a massive difference

Fact. The E has a three layer polyester sidewall where the C has a two. So yes the E is "tougher"

Please post up the source of this fact....

Please post up the source of this fact....

'The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon on top of BFGoodrich's TriGard, 3-ply polyester cord sidewall ply construction (2 plies for Load Range C tires) for strength and durability.'

How about a sidewall pic from a 315/70-17 C? Or just read what it says in the little box...

The tirerack info is not on bfgs website, and is a pretty blanket statement. The bigger sizes are different running lower pressures than the smaller sizes for the load range. Normally and E tire has a max of 80, except in a 35 or 37 where it is 65psi. The blanket doesn't work there either. So no more tri guard sidewall? Just two plies on the C rated tires? What a ripoff....

Got it back today.

They replaced the hub assembly, planetary gear and thrust bearing.

Shifts perfectly now as far as 4L. 4H was not a problem.

Do i need to run it a few yards in 4l in a straight line once a month like the old systems to keep it in good working order?

Also according to Fords legal dept and tire experts, the C rated are perfectly "safe". They spent several days checking.

I am sure it might reduce load capacity a bit and soften the ride but i am not inclined to complain since i got brand new wheels and tires on a used example.

I am glad it work out for you. The answer to your question is no. Cheers
