I'm putting 13.6x38 on the rear.On Super H What size fronts do I need to make it set level?

6.50 x 16 should get you level.

Don't use 6.50 x 16. My Super M has 13.6 rears, 6.00 fronts, all 6 ply. Not really objectional but the front is a little high. My Super H has 12.4 x 38, and 5.50 x 16 fronts, all 6 ply; it is level. 13.6 on a Super H is overkill in my opinion. Others will disagree. I say that because I ran a H in the 50's, maybe 4000 hours with 11 x 38 (12.4), it pulled fine, 12 (13.6) would have done no better. If you are doing this for pulling, leave me out as I know nothing about it.

May depend on tire brands. Have a narrow front H and a SH with 600-16 fronts and 13.6 X 38 rears with 90% tread on both and the SH sets with the front noticeably higher. Closer to level on the H.

depends on rear tire brand, rim width...
Buying 1 rear tire..same size, I've seen inches of height difference installed.
I have 3 SH's at the moment
2 NF- one 12.4's, one 13.6's.
1 wide front-13.6's
all have 6.00-16 fronts and sit fine, fairly level.

keep in mind if you have a narrow front,
getting the 6.00-16's set to most narrow is a chinese-finger-puzzle type chore sometimes.
6.50-16's will be even tougher..if possible at all.

On my H I have 5.50-16 and it sets basically level with 13.6 rears.

Measured on cement floor to see what the difference was. Different brand of tires on both ends of the H and SH, tread depth within a 1/16. Floor to rear axle center. H, 28-23/32. SH, 28-3/8. Floor to hub centers on the front. 3/16 taller on the SH.
