Generally, you'll find that aiming at the ridge line of the obstructing terrain will be the best tilt setting. If you were after DX signals that were skipping off the upper layers of the atmosphere, a slightly higher tilt angle might be useful. But KIRO is a local signal and very unlikely to bounce a useful signal off the upper layers of atmosphere. The angle would be too steep.

Yeah, there can be a wide variation in performance between tuners...
