What should the tire pressures be (front & rear) for my MX5800 HST w/ R4s? The front are "foam" filled & the rears are filled for ballast weight if that changes anything? Appreciate it!

If the fronts are foam filled you're going to have a hard time adjusting the air pressure.

For filled rears I like to lift my heaviest 3PT implement up then release or add pressure until the outside edge of the tread barely touches on a flat solid surface.

I run my front tires at 40 psi. No foam - air only. I run my rear tires at 16 psi. Rears are filled with Rim Guard. Both front and rear are R-1's - six ply.

16 psi in the rears give me a full chevron contact patch on hard, flat ground.

40 psi in the front because I lift "heavy" with my grapple.

The only thing I’ll add is: Maximum pressure is listed on your tires sidewall… don’t exceed it…
