We need some info here. Any ballast & how much? Ideal tire pressure depends on the weight the tire is carrying. Ideal tire pressure also depends if this a feedlot mixer wagon tractor. Or used in high draft load applications in the lower gears and with the engine lugging hard. There is a real problem with economy minded persons over filling tires with extra ballast in order to obtain some cheap extra traction. Problem is the tire doesn't have enough airspace to allow cushioning & flex. May as well just bolt rubber treads over a steel wheel. The tube and or tire can blow while the tractor bounces over a bump or abrupt edge. If you are stuck having to use liquid ballast in cases such as a 2WD loader tractor. The ideal liquid level is just 1/2 way, up to the axle height. Ballast levels higher than the valve stem when the valve stem is at 12 o clock is looking for trouble. Is the tube marked with radial,bias or nothing?
