Tune allows you to change that, I have it set to 35 psi. in the front and 32 psi. in the rear.
I thought it was the tuner that allows you to do that...

Is it the tuner or tune?

My old Hypertech that I had installed on one of my other trucks allowed me to change settings for tire size and other things

SCT is the programmer of choice for the Raptor.
I believe 80% of Raptor owners are running a Tune with a SCT device with Tunes from several vendors on this forum.

I have two Hypertech devices (for sale) for my 2 1997 Tahoes (350 c.i.) which I don't own any longer.
It was OK, I needed it mainly to change tire size and speed limit, their little tweak for 93 octane (performance mode) really didn't do much for performance.
Night and day compared to the SCT and custom Tunes.

is anybody else having problems balancing these tires? I just purchased a set last Saturday and have balanced them three times already. I have even tired the "balancing beads".

Couple of mine took a while to balance.

Eventually they got it right.

Had my KO2s mounted today @khcdave plus alignment.
Fantastic work again at KHC. You should see their new wheel mounting machine, it's out of this world!!!

I have to say the new KO2 315/70 17 E rated are soft and smoooooth and way quieter. And that's with 40 psi.
I was running my original KOs at 35 psi. and you could still feel every pebble.
Now they were 6 years old with 25,000+ so they were more plastic then rubber now.

In any case if you have second doubts about the E rated over the original KO D rated being stiffer, DON"T

I'll post a pic tomorrow.

I had a feeling you had a bad tire or two. Sometimes tires that are really out of round end up making it through quality control. Usually road force balancing will find the bad tires. Very good to hear BFG took care of you.
