Actually according to every farm tractor tire book I've read, and that's a LOT, the rear 4-ply tires should only go to like 12 or 14 PSI and 16 if heavily loaded. 6-ply tires can go at MOST 4 PSI higher. 4-ply frt 6.00 or 6.50 x 16's can go to 36 PSI and 6 ply can go to something like 42 PSI. I'd run the rears as soft as you can without the sidewalls buckling, 10 to 12 PSI or so, and run the frts as hard as you dare, esp. if you have a loader or don't have power streering. I have a Super H with a loader but without P/S and I run 42 in both frt. and one is 4-ply and 1 is 6-ply. I haven't checked the rears in years but I think the 12.4 X 38 4-plys have about 8 PSI in them, maybe 10.
