To efficiently put the power to the ground, go with radial tires all around. You have a lot of horsepower in that 5488 with mfwd. I have a 4960 Deere with mfwd. I have 18.4 x 46 radials on the rear and 14.9 x 30 on the front. I also have the tractor ballasted with 20 suitcase weights up front and a 1350 lb. weight on each inside rear wheel. I run the rears at 10 psi and the fronts at 28 psi. These pressures are based upon the recommendations in the owner's manual. I have respectable traction in most conditions. There are times when I am lacking in "bite." I would have to agree with one of the other posts, in running radials on the inside and bias on the outside, the two might fight one another. I would not want anything but all radials on my tractor.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
