Going from 6.50-16 to 6.50-15 will only lower the nose 1/2". You'd need to go to some real skinny 15" tires like 4.00-15, or to 14" rims or even 13" to get any real nose-droppage.
Putting bigger tires on the back saps the tractor's power.
If you look at the 40/60 series as a whole, the tractors tended to sit nose-high with factory size tires on them anyway. We had a 560 growing up and it just BARELY sat level with new 16.9x38 tires on it. Factory was 15.5x38 which are low-profile tires to begin with.
Besides, tires and rims are expensive so frankly I would learn to like it.
